Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that last week your school was named to our 2015 Green Honor Roll. The Princeton Review – known for its education services helping students choose and get in to colleges – reported its seventh annual "Green Ratings" of colleges: a measure of how environmentally friendly the institutions are on a scale of 60 to 99.

We tallied the rating for 861 institutions based on our institutional surveys of colleges in 2013-14 concerning their environmentally related practices, policies and academic offerings. 

Twenty-four colleges, including yours, received the highest possible score (99) in the Princeton Review tallies this year. The list, which appears on our website at: www.princetonreview.com/green-honor-roll.aspx and in "The Best 379 Colleges" includes:
