A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Students take a Sustainability Pledge before they arrive on campus. First years are immediately engaged with the EcoRep program through the pledge, a Resource Fair and a Sustainability Fair. Mason jars are made available to all first years, upon request. We use an "S" demarcation in the New Student Orientation manual to denote sustainable activities. Examples of sustainability activities that occur during Orientation include film screenings, a guided bike trip to the nearest village and farm stand, meal supported by the Bard Farm and local farmers, etc. The Bard Office of Sustainability also submits a full page advertisement for upcoming yearly sustainability-related items.
