A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):

New Faculty Orientation is held each August for all entering faculty members. The Office of Environmental Stewardship attends and answers questions regarding instructional resources (e.g., Science On a Sphere and sustainability learning outcomes), research opportunities (i.e., summer undergraduate research funding), and other campus offices that address sustainability (e.g., Facilities Management Sustainability and Community Service Learning).

Information is also included in the Classified Staff Handbook provided to every new classified staff employee: http://www.jmu.edu/humanresources/_files/handbook-classified.pdf
