A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :

Syracuse Welcome
Orange Welcome & Information Center: Sustainability Management hosts an informational booth to discuss campus sustainable resources and services available to all students. We talk about recycling, composting, and waste within the residence halls, dining centers, and general campus. In addition, we talk about easy ways to be sustainable on campus, the food pantries, sustainable transportation options, sustainability related classes and internships available.

We give all students recycling and waste brochures, reusable stainless-steel straws to promote the dining centers waste free initiatives, and a brochure on student resources around sustainability.
