Mohawk College and AASHE join forces

Mohawk is now a member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in HigherEducation (AASHE), which supports post-secondary institutions in reaching their sustainability goals.

As a member, Mohawk is able to fully utilize the Sustainability Tracking, Assessmentand Rating System (STARS), a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to collaborate and measure their sustainability performance.  This system directly correlates with Pillar 7 (Tracking, Reporting and Communication) of the EMP, which allows the College to measure and track its progress in reaching a 20% reduction of 2007 baseline carbon emissions by 2020.

Mohawk proudly joins leading North American schools like Harvard University, and University of Toronto, along with other local peers including Seneca College and Fanshawe College. Mohawk now has access to a large, diverse network and a valuable information database that will help us become even more sustainable. Mohawk and AASHE: a perfect match!
