A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
There are two programs that try to promote sustainability to incoming freshmen. One program is the Muhlenberg Green Team, which was discussed previously. The second program involves tabling at the resource fair. Kalyna Procyk, Muhlenberg College’s main sustainability officer, tables at a resource fair during freshman orientation weekend, where the various support departments table in one room, and students can come and get further information. The Office of Campus Sustainability provides students with free reusable water bottles to promote Muhlenberg’s “Just Tap it” campaign.
