A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):

Students are made aware of Texas Tech's recent advances in efficiency, waste reduction, and commitment to sustainability at the senior administrative level. One example of this is the showcasing of Texas Tech's multiple LEED certified buildings during the orientation tour. They are also made aware of the Texas Tech Campus Recycling Center and invited to participate in student groups that volunteer in the recycling effort. University Student Housing provides information about sustainability options on campus during all RRO sessions. RRO schedule is available through electronic format. Recycling is available in multiple buildings during RRO.
