A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
NMU's incoming student orientation included an entire segment discussing sustainability in NMU dining. This discussion included highlighting the environmentally-friendly aspects of NMU's dining operations, and how the community is involved in the sustainability-related practices through local food sourcing of various food inputs from local businesses. Additionally, an orientation quiz was presented to student which included questions around sustainability in terms of the local sourcing of food. Additionally, incoming students are provided the opportunity to attend one of NMU's green building tours. Orientation is required for first-year and transfer students, but is also made available to re-entry, graduate, post-baccalaureate, and all other students as well if they so choose.
