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

The TRU Sustainability Office (TRUSO) is is represented in all New Employee Orientations by either the Director or Coordinator. Along with TRUSO, there are representatives from all other major non-academic departments/offices of the University, such as Health & Safety, Wellness, IT Services, Employee Assistance, and Facilities. Some of these departments, like Health & Safety and Wellness, cover issues to do with social sustainability. A speaker from TRUSO provides information to the new employees so that they can familiarize themselves with different sustainability aspects of the office and university, and learn of relevant resources, systems, academic offerings, and activities on campus. Due to the nature of TRUSO, information is provided electronically to the participants via online links, instead of providing paper hand-outs.
