A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
Summer Orientation runs sessions from June - August each year to introduce incoming freshman and transfer students to the Chico State campus (roughly 90% of incoming students attend a Summer 'O' session). The program offers day-long sessions that include a tour of campus, an introduction to student services and opportunities on campus, and academic advising sessions. The Summer Orientation groups are led by 30-40 student leaders who are recruited each Spring and go through a training program during late Spring / early Summer. Students are introduced to the Universities strategic priorities of 1) equity, diversity & inclusion; 2) civic & global engagement; and 3) resilient & sustainable systems. These three themes run through Student Orientation.These priorities are woven throughout the whole orientation.
