Summary
The University of Connecticut has made the Sierra Club’s top 10 “Cool Schools” once again, claiming the No. 8 spot for the second time.
The Sierra Club, a national environmental advocacy organization, created the “Cool Schools” ranking to rank top universities by their “eco bona fides and environmental commitments,” per the Sierra Club website. UConn reached the top 10 out of 328 colleges that participated.
The Sierra Club states on its website that the purpose of the “Cool School” ranking is to inspire competition among colleges to strive for a more environmentally conscious world.
“We hope that our annual ranking can serve as a guide for prospective students, current students, administrators, and alumni to compare colleges’ commitments to environmentalism,” the website reads. “It also serves to spur healthy competition among schools, raise environmental standards on campus, and publicly reward the institutions that work hard to protect the planet.”
