The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE, pronounced AY-shee) [2] [3] is a 501(c)(3) association of higher education institutions headquartered in Philadelphia. The association aims to improve sustainable practices in higher education by advocacy of sustainable innovation. [4] [5] AASHE encourages people involved in education to promote sustainable development to their communities. [6] [7]
AASHE is an official partner of the Sustainable Development Goals program of the United Nations, [8] [9] the U.S. Department of Energy Better Buildings Initiative, [10] the U.S. Green Building Council, [11] and The Princeton Review. [12]
The journal of AASHE is Sustainability and Climate Change, published by Mary Ann Liebert. [13]
AASHE was founded in December 2005 in Portland, Oregon. [14] At the time of their founding, they had two staff members, of which Judy Walton was the first executive director. [15]
Their main office is currently located in Philadelphia, [16] though they have also been located in Boston [17] and Denver. [18] [19]
AASHE organizes an annual Conference, the "AASHE Annual Conference & Expo". [20] It was held in different locations in the United States from 2006 to 2019, with each year having a different theme. [21] The AASHE Conference was re-established in 2022 in a virtual format. [22]
The purpose of the conference is to be a venue for institutions, companies, and educators to collaborate in maximizing the sustainable impact of higher education. [23] The conference is intended to be an opportunity for administrators to connect with companies and other institutions to exchange sustainable ideas and innovations. [24]
The AASHE STARS (Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System [25]) program is a way for institutions to be tracked and ranked on their progress in developing sustainable solutions for their communities. [26] An institution can be awarded a Platinum, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Reporter designation. [27]
The STARS program tracks multiple factors in an institution's overall sustainability, including purchasing of sustainably-sourced products, [28] community outreach, and offerings of sustainability courses. [29] Adherence to any of the factors is self-reported. [30] [31] [32]
The STARS program was founded with the purpose of being a sustainability rating system for higher education campuses to compliment existing sustainability plans being implemented by individual institutions. [33]
