A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
The orientation page of the Duquesne website contains links to the incoming freshmen student and transfer/graduate student guide to living on-campus, both of which contain information about sustainable dining options offered by the university. The Department of Environmental and Engery Engineering has a table during orientation where students can come to learn more information about sustainability on campus and ways to get involved. Additionally, students that are entering the Environmental Studies/Science undergraduate and graduate programs learn about their courses, which include sustainability on campus.
The number of students that attended orientation was approximately 1,600 in Fall 2024, which includes freshmen students, first-year transfer students, and graduate students. This number is provided by the Dean of Students' office. The toal number of incoming students was obtained from the 2024-2025 Duquesne University fact book enrollment data.
