Mary Washington earned a spot on The Princeton Review’s 2026 Guide to Green Colleges for dedication to environmental responsibility in academic offerings, campus policies and community engagement.
The University of Mary Washington’s commitment to sustainability earned national recognition once again as it was named to The Princeton Review’s Guide to Green Colleges. The annual guide highlights institutions that demonstrate exceptional dedication to environmental responsibility through academic offerings, campus policies and community engagement.
Included among 388 schools featured in the 2026 edition released last month, UMW earned a Green Rating of 86 out of 99, based on survey data assessing sustainability practices, institutional priorities and student support for environmental awareness and conservation efforts on campus.
“Among the hundreds of schools we surveyed for this project, the University of Mary Washington, which offers excellent academics, is also a stand-out for its record of environmentally responsible practices,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review. “We are delighted to recommend UMW to college applicants who want their ‘best-fit’ college to also be a ‘green’ one.” Read more about UMW’s green thumbs-up from The Princeton Review.
