The Program for the Assessment and Cert ificat ion of the Environment and Sustainability is a resource that helps academic departments and on-campus events reduce their environmental impacts while aiming to inst itut ionalize sustainability.

During Fall 2017, the PACES team assessed UCSB’s Theater and Dance department . We will share our process of the assessment, findings and main recommendat ions, and overall lessons learned.
