Dear Friends, Each day, Alfred State is becoming more widely recognized as a leader in sustainability. One of the most significant sustainability honors we have received, to date, is the award we received last month from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) -- the leading organization for sustainability in higher education. AASHE recognized us at their annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles, noting our innovative approaches that were detailed in a case study about our Zero Energy Home in Wellsville. That case study will now be published in the December 2012 issue of Sustainability: The Journal of Record. AASHE also awarded us the Sustainability Tracking Assessment & Rating System (STARS) Bronze Rating for sustainability achievement. STARS is the primary tool used to assess sustainability in higher education and it requires public reporting of a comprehensive list of information related to sustainability performance including education and research; operations; and planning, administration, and engagement. For more about our successes in sustainability, watch for our Fall 2012 issue of Transitions in your mailbox or preview our online version here. Warmest regards, 
John M. Anderson, Ph.D.
