A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
There are numerous ways that sustainable living is integrated into orientation for new and transfer students at CMC.
All new students, freshman and transfer, participate in WOA, Welcome Orientation Adventure, trips. Trips are destination experiences designed to help students make connections and learn life skills before entering college at CMC. The trip offerings mostly focus on outdoor and nature activities, and they allow students a variety of opportunities, from surfing to camping to community service and urban engagement. These trips introduce incoming students to the cultures, landscapes, and wildlife of California.
All students attend an environmental presentation which includes information on sustainability (presented through skits made by the First Year Guides).
Resident Advisors also cover the topic in their dorm meetings.
The CMC Green Guide is presented at orientation, and it is made availble online: https://claremontmckenna.app.box.com/s/6c6rffatvawig4eadn813g9qse4z6yb7
Farmers Market walk to educate students on local/ethical food sourcing options.
