A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
Since 2009, Sustainability has been cited as one of the college’s four institutional strategic focus area. It has recently been selected to renew and continue in this capacity through 2019. A prominent action item throughout has been to identify avenues to promote opportunities for sustainable learning to the students and to create a culture that engages students to adopt and maintain a socially, environmentally, and economically responsible lifestyle.
Our campus website is intended for new students whereby sustainability was selected and is prominently highlighted as tool for recruitment. (Returning student are directed to a password protected portal site.)
Student recruitment and orientation at the high school level introduces sustainability initiatives, sustainability study abroad scholarship opportunity, alternative transportation, and other related activities.
Additionally, sustainability materials are included in the student orientation packets. new student communications, and sustainability initiatives introduced along the campus tour. Sustainability is featured during student welcome week and Fall event outreach at main campus and three campus centers is conducted by Sustainability Reps. This includes LEED building tours, ride share, bus transportation, recycling, energy conservation, and sustainable volunteer opportunities.
