A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
Purdue University recently completed an extensive update to student orientation programming. New students going through Orientation Programs experiences will be welcomed through “All Aboard Purdue,” a four-step process to start their journey as Boilermakers. These changes aim to simplify program names, descriptions, and messages to help students, their families, and campus partners better navigate Purdue's orientation processes and milestones.
Step 1: Purdue 101
This self-led virtual module guides students through campus resources and provides information on Purdue's course planning and advising processes.
Step 2: Purdue Advising
Once Step 1 is complete, students will receive an email from an academic advisor about scheduling their first advising appointment. Students fill out their course request form after they meet with an advisor.
Step 3: Purdue 102
This self-led virtual module focuses on resources related to students' transition to campus and adjusting to college life. This module includes a section to introduce incoming students to the Purdue Sustainability office and its primary function, several ways for students to become engaged in campus sustainability efforts, and key social media, website, and contact information for the students to explore.
Step 4: Purdue Welcome
Optional welcome programs include Boiler Gold Rush, Boiler Gold Rush International (fall beginners), and Boiler Cold Rush (spring beginners). Students may alternatively participate in Bands, PMO, or Athletics summer programs.
