A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
New Student Orientation is one program of the first-year experience that includes our wilderness orientation trips (NOVA), new student orientation (NSO), and first-year seminar (Unity Experience). NSO has events during the day including sustainability related events and contests and every student receives a reusable bottle to help cut down on single use bottles on campus. Campus ambassadors are trained to support and design sustainability activities for New Student Orientation. The Sustainability Office has a strong presence at orientation activities including "Trash Talkers" stationed at garbage and organics bins in our dining facilities to help new students learn about our waste disposal at their first meal on campus. Graduate students are all online and as a result do not have any sort of orientation programming.
