A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):

During the new student orientation days, the Office of Sustainability has a "cookies and lemonade" drop-in time available for all new students to come meet the Sustainability Coordinator, the Sustainability Hall Director, a few faculty members involved in sustainability projects, and a few current sustainability employees. This informal setting allowed for one-on-one interactions where new students to be able to ask questions about how to get involved and express any past involvement or future desires to be involved in sustainability endeavors.
Additionally, the Sustainability Coordinator and Sustainability Hall Director provided training to all student Residential Assistants who communicated knowledge like recycling and heating and cooling best practices to the students living on their floors and in their houses.
