A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
Sustainability initiatives and values are foregrounded throughout the activities and events for students multiple times during New Student Orientation (NSO). 1) during the informational table fair during move in, sustainability has a table that provides information about sustainability resources and initiatives important to new students, 2) sustainability is one of the NSO workshops, "Blazing a Trail Together", that new students attend (where fun skits are performed by student leaders on campus about the different initiatives involving sustainability. This session provides an introduction to choices they are now responsible for making living on their own and within this new community. The Sustainability Office provides examples of situations they may encounter and suggests the sustainable options, and 3) the "Engage and Explore" event within the first weeks of the academic year includes tours and service activities off campus to introduce new students to the history, neighbors, and social and environmental issues around campus. The campus farm, share shop, and bike shop, are some sustainability programs/opportunities included in this event.
We also offer sustainability tours to the first years. New Student Orientation leaders and RA's are trained on sustainability initiatives and offer Sustainability tours on campus.
We also offer eco friendly reusable containers (aka Clamshells) to all the new students as part of our NSO and to reduce waste for take out events.
