A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Campus Sustainability hosts a sustainability lounge at Imagine UBC New Student Orientation, which gathers over 15 student and departmental sustainability groups on campus to promote their initiatives and activities. Over 450 students signed the UBC Sustainbility Pledge in 2010, pledging to commit to sustainable lifestyle choices during their academic career at UBC.
Imagine UBC Orientation also has a new EcoTeam, which is responsible for ensuring an environmentally sustainable Imagine Day. EcoTeam members will:
• promote sustainability initiatives among all new students, Orientations Leaders, and our campus partners
• lead the implementation of effective waste management strategies during Imagine
• assist with lunch distribution and closing logistics
• help with set-up and closing of The Main Event
• assess interest in sustainability/adherence to waste management policies throughout the Imagine Day
