Southern New Hampshire University
EN-2: Student Orientation

Eco Reps lead a tabling event for each day of the three-day orientation for all incoming students (first year, transfer, and graduate) to provide information about the Office of Sustainability. This event includes two games which are Trash Hole and Spin It to Win It.  Students had the opportunity to spin a wheel and answer a sustainability question. With the Trash Hole game, the students were asked to select a couple of items that were trash and what are recycling materials. If they get it right, they have a chance to throw a beanbag into a cornhole game for a prize.  Students use a QR code to sign in and are then eligible to win a $50 gift card to the university bookstore.  Additionally, Eco Reps talk about the work they do and the office’s initiatives. There are marketing materials to view and review about sustainability on the table.  

A scavenger hunt is set up around campus where there are five locations campus wide where students can click on a QR code and watch a video about a specific sustainable program on campus. The educational videos include the electric vehicle station, the centralized waste stations, the Arboretum and the Paul LeBlanc Hall, which is LEED certified. For every location the students click on and watch the video gives them another entry into the raffle for the bookstore.
