A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Sustainability is a major component of New Student Orientation. The theme from 2012-2014 was "One Community" and within that framework of inclusivity and community outreach, we planned tours and service activities off campus to introduce new students to the history, neighbors, and social and environmental issues around campus. We also had a major recycling drive to attempt to collect 100% of the cardboard and recyclable plastic brought onto campus during move-in. We held sustainability training for all RAs, Orientation Leaders, and Admission Ambassadors; had sustainability tabling during all events; and held a mandatory sustainability 101 presentation for all new students. We also held a Bike-In Movie with free local and organic pizza and popcorn as part of official orientation events.
