A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
The Sustainability Office is represented in Orientation by giving a direct talk, but also in several other areas. Social sustainability and wellness are a topic covered with all first year students during their orientation. Speakers are brought in to talk about sexual health, alcohol/drug use, and healthy relationships.
Economic sustainability was mostly highlighted to parents, but was also presented to students by the financial aid office, and by individual appointments with the financial aid office.
The biggest push for environmental sustainability is in the zero-waste picnic that all first year students and their families are invited to. Everything is 100% recyclable or compostable, and staff people are on site to talk about how to recycle and compost.
