The preservation of the environment depends on sustainability initiatives. Universities influence policy through their impact on their surrounding communities. Universities should, therefore, place a higher priority on campus sustainability efforts. This study examines how universities' sustainability initiatives impact local area economy. Using data reported by various governmental agencies, I construct a sustainability index based on university initiatives in energy, green buildings, food waste, permaculture, water use, recycling, sustainability council, and AASHE. I model the impact of universities on the local economy using this index and other institutional characteristics. I define the local area economy as effects on poverty rates, unemployment, health, and environmental quality. The results of the multivariate analysis, an initial exploration of universities' role in pushing green initiatives forward, reveal a noticeable regional variation in effect on poverty rates. These results warrant further analysis of universities as agents of environmental policy adaptation.
