 ======Sustainability Action Plan======
-Trinity College’s Sustainability Action Plan, more commonly known as Summit, is a strategic plan published by the College in 2017 as an effort to outline short- and long-term goals to track the College’s progress towards a sustainable future. Since its establishment, the Summit Sustainability Committee has supported many projects on campus and in the [[hartford|Hartford]] area. One of the earliest of these projects was the completion of the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), a self-reported assessment that helps colleges gauge where more sustainable improvements can be made at their institution. Trinity earned a high bronze score for its first submission. The Action Plan continues as a roadmap for the College to become increasingly more environmentally friendly as an institution through several facets of its campus life and beyond. According to the Foreword of the official plan, written by [[berger-sweeney_joanne|President Joanne Berger-Sweeney]], “Our campus community has a shared responsibility to its individual members and as global citizens to support sustainability.” The plan formalizes how environmental concerns may be addressed in all aspects of Trinity’s campus life, among which are Campus Operations; Research, Teaching, and Learning; Health and Wellness; and Campus Life and Community Engagement.
