Yes

A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:

During the weekly new employee orientation, sustainability is discussed as part of the broad campus-wide sustainability initiative, as well as how sustainability ties into other projects and initiatives at GW.

As part of the quarterly new employee forum, there is a values panel on GW's nine values, including GW's value of sustainability. GW's commitment to sustainability is discussed, specifically describing some of the sustainability projects on campus. At the end of the forum, there is a new employee resource fair, which includes representatives from the Office of Sustainability. Employees have the opportunity to ask questions about sustainability at GW at that table, and sign up to receive the office's newsletter.
