A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
There are multiple ways in which sustainability is highlighted in new student orientation. The primary way is that the Office of Sustainability has a table during the resource fair of orientation that provides information about sustainable practices on campus and also about student involvement in sustainability and programs targeted towards students. Prior to the start of summer orientation, the Orientation Assistants receive a training on sustainability practices and initiatives which they can communicate to new students. They are give a tour of the dorm room, which has been outfitted by the Office of Sustainability to include "green tips". The Office of Sustainability also attends a transfer student (fall/spring) and graduate student (fall) orientation at the beginning of the semester. These students are provided with essential guides to sustainable practices, programs and student involvement on campus.
