A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
- Replaced disposable plastic bags with clear reusable bags for all Orientation attendees, new students, and family members, which can be utilized at FSU sporting events.
- Community Waste Stations in all program locations to capture recyclable material and unwanted promotional items that can be reused.
- Orientation Leaders (OL) lead by example through utilizing their reusable water bottles. OL’s also point out hydration stations where attendees can fill up their water bottles.
- During Orientation Leader intensive training, Sustainable Campus staff present to all OLs about campus-wide sustainability efforts and programs. This allows OL staff to include sustainability facts during the tour and be prepared to answer questions that may arise.
- At the Orientation campus resource fair, Sustainable Campus staff are present to speak with students and families about involvement opportunities, connecting with Sustainable Campus of social media, and are given resources on how to pack “green” for college.
- Staff from Sustainable Campus present approximately twenty 45-minute sessions on sustainable living at orientation for an audience of students and their guardians.
- The Sustainable Campus office develops sustainability at FSU slides which rotate on televisions and monitors where Orientation takes place. All three pillars are addressed as slides include Food Recovery Network, Garnet and Gold Goes Green (a recycling program), and Eco-Reps (sustainability ambassadors on campus) highlighting how students can get involved.
- Each new and transfer student is given an FSU planner known as the Holopaw. Every year, Sustainable Campus places a full-page ad in the planner describing how to take part in sustainable behavior at FSU.
- Sustainability Engage 100 course highlighted in academic sessions.
