Does the institution include sustainability prominently in new student orientation?:
A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Over a six week period during summer, Appalachian holds New Student Orientation. The two-day freshman program and one-day transfer program include presentations on campus resources, discussions with student, faculty and staff leaders and intensive academic planning. New Student Orientation is held during the month of June.
As part of this program, Student Orientation Undergraduate Leaders (SOULs) welcome new students to Appalachian by ensuring they have the necessary information to become successful members of our university community. As part of SOUL training, the Office of Sustainability educates the student leaders about sustainability and our culture of sustainability and gives them information to share with their new students.
