A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
Sustainability is included in all orientation documents that go out to incoming students and families, including first-year, transfer and graduate students. In addition, sustainability is represented at all orientation days- hosting a table and having conversations with students about sustainability opportunities on campus. Sustainability is also integrated into the lunch portion of student orientation days since our team has provided zero-waste signage and hydration station maps that are displayed on all tables in the centralized dining area. On-campus housing students are given informational handouts on sustainability and all the RAs are trained on sustainability initiatives.
