EN-2: Student Orientation

For undergraduate orientation, all first-years are required to attend the Orientation Advisors’ Cabaret which features a skit on how to properly sort food waste, recyclables and trash, and they give tips such as using a reusable mug. Before orientation, the Orientation Advisors are given a presentation by CEJS staff educating them on how to properly educate the new students about orientation. Topics include: how to correctly sort food waste, recyclables and trash, the reusable mug discount at campus cafes, the importance of carrying a water bottle and where to get free water on campus due to SU's plastic bottled water free campus policy. At all catered orientation events, members of the student Green Team stand next to food waste, recycling and trash bins to educate students how which bins their waste goes into. Students who are living on campus also receive information from their RAs about correctly sorting waste in residence halls when they first move to campus.
