Yes

A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:

Babson takes a multi-pronged approach to educating incoming students about the College’s sustainability initiatives. During the four day orientation, the all-class meetings are kicked off with a “Did you know?” presentation that includes a segment on Babson’s effort to reduce its carbon footprint, including ways for students to get involved such as RecycleMania and the Zero Waste Challenge Competition. To reinforce the message, the Resident Advisors take a class on campus sustainability and reiterate campus sustainability policies during floor meetings in all 16 undergraduate residence halls. Additionally, members of the administration staff an information table in the orientation venue that new students and parents visit. The Sustainability Office also got a 15 minute slot to the entire first year class during orientation to talk about what the office is doing on campus and how students can get involved.
