A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
- All incoming students are invited to attend an event at the University farm that is centered on teaching the students about sustainability generally and at the University specifically. Activities include a meal made with local and farm-grown ingredients, faculty-led talks regarding sustainability-focused research and farm activities, and field games.
- Students are also offered the ability to attend a pre-orientation adventure. For the past several years, the Office for Sustainability has hosted a sustainability-themed adventure which tours participating students to different sustainability-focused businesses, activities and opportunities around Cleveland.
- Additionally the University often has special opportunities to highlight sustainability during orientation. New students receive an electronic newsletter with a link to "Green Your Move In"; Orientation picnics and BBQs are often zero-waste/compostable waste events; many Cleveland Exploration Trips have sustainability themes, and the majority of them are oriented to helping incoming students navigate the regional mass-transit system.
