A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
Students take a Sustainability Pledge before they arrive on campus. First years are immediately engaged with the EcoRep program through the pledge, and sustainability co-curricular programming during the Language & Thinking program. Mason jars are made available to all first years. 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. New student arrivals (non-first years) are personally contacted and connected with resources for sustainable living on campus. They are provided the opportunity to engage further in the office of sustainability initiatives and/or any student-driven project. All students who reside on campus are exposed to sustainability initiatives and measures that pertain to residences and public use buildings.
