It took nearly the entire academic year to prepare her research for her Ford Scholar paper, and Sherry continued working with her even after she graduated and started her first job at Eckerd.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2017, after submission and revision, <em>Sustainability<\/em> published \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1089\/sus.2017.29107.hb\">Overcoming barriers: Organizational effectiveness of college sustainability offices<\/a>,\u201d just as Busch prepared to start her master\u2019s degree in public and urban policy at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>Tivona, an environmental studies graduate originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, knew she wanted Sherry to be her Ford mentor because he was already her faculty mentor. She used the life cycle assessment to determine that meat and cheese significantly raise the carbon footprint of a commercial kitchen, but all vegetables weren\u2019t off the hook. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emerald.com\/insight\/content\/doi\/10.1108\/IJSHE-06-2021-0224\/full\/html\">Reducing the environmental impact of food service in universities using life cycle assessment<\/a>\u201d was printed in the <em>International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Sherry\u2019s third Ford Scholar, Jenny Koester \u201919, chose him as her mentor even though her major was marine science.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessor Sherry was my instructor for Green Design, and I knew I wanted to do something in industrial sustainability and <a href=\"\/marinescience\/\">marine science<\/a>,\u201d says Koester, who came to Eckerd from Warrenville, Illinois. \u201cSalmon farming was a way to marry the two disciplines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obtaining the data for her research would be the toughest test because Koester wanted to study if the environmental certifications added to the labels of farm-raised salmon actually equaled a more sustainable production footprint. She needed to visit a farm to tap into Sherry\u2019s expertise in how to complete a life cycle assessment, or multifaceted operational evaluation, to determine the use of resources and energy to create a desired outcome or product.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9378&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>\u00a0Shannon Tivona &#8217;18<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;48&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9377&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>Haley Busch &#8217;16<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;48&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;9376&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>Jenny Koester &#8217;19<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;right&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\u201cShe was cold emailing salmon farms up in Canada and Alaska for months, and people thought she was a spy from a competitor,\u201d Sherry recalls with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, a farm in British Columbia, Canada, granted Koester access for a weeklong visit to conduct a life cycle assessment on their operation, provided she would share the results with them.
