º£½ÇÉçÇø has been awarded the Silver Level of achievement. The Bronze level was reached in 2012 by adopting a written statement for sustainability, creating the Sustainability Committee, and developing a website dedicated to sustainability. However, º£½ÇÉçÇø had made a signed commitment to reach the Silver achievement level. In August 2013, this goal was reached. In order to reach this silver level Lewis had to continue the efforts in the bronze level and foster student involvement, set measurable goals for sustainability, focus on green purchasing, hold an annual sustainability event, and work with the community to further a common goal of sustainability.
