<a href="http://www.ala.org/sustainrt/events-0">Thursday March 9<sup>th</sup> for a FREE webinar</a></b> OPEN TO ALL:
<b><i>STARS and Beyond: Adventures of an embedded Librarian in the Campus Sustainability Office: </i></b>During the past year Amy Brunvand, an academic librarian at the University of Utah, has been on leave from the library in order to work out of the campus
Sustainability Office. Her main project was helping to compile a Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System™ (STARS) report ,a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance that is
used for ranking by Sierra Magazine and Princeton Green Schools among others. Along the way she gained insights into what drives campus sustainability and how academic libraries and librarians can get involved in and offer support to sustainability efforts
across the whole campus organization <a href="https://goo.gl/forms/5ukfR1aUrlHAu7rP2">You must register to get the link</a> to join the webinar.
