Yes
None
A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
The Buckeye Book Community (BBC) is quite possibly the largest book club in the nation. First-year students are given a sustainability themed reading selection ('No Impact Man' by Colin Beavan) during orientation and are asked to complete the reading before they return to campus to be prepared to discuss and analyze what they have read. The experience culminates with a visit from Beavan. The BBC connects the first-year class through a shared experience and introduces the expectation that college students cultivate a life of learning both in and outside the classroom.
