A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
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. During the new student tour of campus, students receive reusable bags with an explanation that they are to be carried and used at the grab-and-go food outlets on campus. Many orientation events have zero or reduced waste themes with returning student volunteers to educate on waste. The Office of Energy & Sustainability tables at the Orientation Info Fair on recycling and sustainability practices at the university.
