A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
First-year students and new transfer students are required to stop at the Skidmore Community Garden during Skidmore Exploremore, one of our orientation programs that introduce new students to important campus resources. During the garden visit, students speak with staff from the Sustainability Office about student programs, campus initiatives, and engagement opportunities at the College.
Students transferring to Skidmore for Spring semester enrollment attend a transfer student orientation before the start of the semester. Sustainability is featured prominently in this event. The Sustainability Office presents on college-wide efforts and discusses ways for students to get involved on campus. The sustainability Office staff are also available for questions following the presentation.
