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

Students living in the residence halls are provided a "Going Green and Gold" guide. The guide presents information regarding sustainability at the university and ways that students can be involved. The Sustainability Office provides a training to the RA's at their orientation. The RA's are then responsible for distributing learned skills (recycling, etc.) to the residents.
A sustainability presentation is included during Green and Gold Days about ways to get involved in campus. This is open to all students.
