A local university is being recognized for it’s efforts to reduce environmental impact and utility costs, improve health and wellness, and ensure effective sustainability education. The U.S. Department of Education has named UW-Whitewater a Green Ribbon School. Schools were selected from a pool of candidates from 27 states. UW-Whitewater was one of five post-secondary institutions to receive the award. Recognized institutions will be invited to a ceremony this summer in Washington, D.C.
