A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
Workshops featuring information about sustainability on campus and in the community are offered as part of the new student orientation. In addition, blue bags for recycling are put in every residence hall room, with printed information about the recycling program, energy efficiency, and other sustainability measures. There is also a new student scavenger hunt. The Recycling and Green Bikes offices are part of the scavenger hunt, and we hope to expand it to other sustainability features on campus. We do a display, giveaways and providea brief introduction to the programs.
