A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
Sustainability is included in the new employee orientation programs at SU:
--STAFF: The “new staff cohort” based onboarding program at SU called “Rising Redhawks” includes a half-day New Hire Orientation. The new hire orientation occurs once a month. New faculty members are also welcome to attend these sessions throughout the year. The orientation includes a 20-minute presentation on sustainability at Seattle University given by the sustainability manager. The presentation addresses the ways in which sustainability encompasses social and environmental justice and how it is connected to SU’s Jesuit identity and mission. The presentation highlights Seattle University's sustainability commitments and goals; progress toward the sustainability ad climate action goals; and examples of actions employees can take to help the university obtain greater sustainability. Resources and contact information are provided for guidance and partnerships.
