A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Starting in the 2012-2013 academic year, the Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability has been given a time slot to speak to all of the incoming freshman about not only the importance of conservation and sustainability on campus, but also ways for engaged students to get involved. Presenters included OESS staff, students, and staff for the dining hall and the farm.
This presentation at orientation continued in 2013-2014. While a presentation did not occur in 2014-2015 due to changes in the overall orientation programming, there are plans to have Sustainability be a key component for a reworked, semester-long orientation process for incoming freshman known as Choices 101.
