A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
Each new employee of Northland College is offered the opportunity to participate in sustainability efforts taking place at the College. This opportunity not only includes a sustainability campus tour but also very practical educational information regarding the day to day operations of the College. A few examples of such information sharing includes education on the food services provided through the College the majority of which is locally sourced; efforts related to sustainable transportation efforts on campus, including numerous walking trails and a campus bicycle repair shop (working with both employees and students to promote sustainable transportation); and flexible work options allowing faculty employees to work compressed schedules thus reducing greenhouse gas emission associated with commuting for those who do rely on motorized vehicles for transportation to work.
