Yes

A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
The Office of New Student & Family Programs continuously works to improve the environmental impact their programs have on campus. Sustainability is now more prominently included in the overall orientation experience than ever before:
- replaced disposable plastic bags with reusable bags for all Orientation attendees (new students and family members)
- increased recycling bins in all program locations to capture recyclable material & unwanted promotional items that can be reused
- encourage the use of reusable water bottles by providing Orientation attendees water hydration stations (instead of providing individual, disposable water bottles).
- create a series of sustainability-related posters to be displayed in the residence halls where incoming students are required to stay during their Orientation session.
Additionally, During Orientation Leader (OL) intensive training, the Director of Campus Sustainability meets with all OLs to discuss campus-wide efforts and programs so OL staff are prepared to answer questions that may arise.
