A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
Each first-year student or transfer with less than 30 credits must attend an orientation class about their current major as part of Freshman Experience. For most of the last three years, one of these classes, known as the Academic program meeting, is about the Sustainability degree. It focuses on showing the students Sustainability practices and opportunities at the university and provides some useful links and resources to the students about current campus efforts. In addition, many incoming students also have received a re-cycled paper or digital a copy of the University Sustainability Guide, which provides background information on the campus sustainability actions and tips to get involved with campus efforts. The guide is also available online at http://www.fit.edu/sustainability/. Finally, during some orientation weeks, all students can participate in planting related activities called Color Wars - Go Green.
