A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Undergraduate Students:
Before arriving on campus, new students receive information about Elon's car share program and sustainable packing tips. The Office of Sustainability provides a session on sustainability to all Orientation Leaders (OLs). The OLs then share this information with new students in their small group sessions with them during Orientation weekend. The two picnics held during Orientation weekend are no-landfill events with compostable or recyclable products provided. Students and families are responsible for appropriately sorting their items into the provided bins, which are monitored by student volunteers. Inclusivity is a broad theme during Orientation, and new students participate in a session called Living the Maroon Life on identity, diversity and social responsibility. In fall 2014 and 2015, new students were invited to participate in Stop Hunger Now, a service project addressing hunger.
Sustainability is not prominent in graduate student orientation.
