A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
A new-employee orientation is held from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM each Payroll Friday throughout the year, to educate new staff. Additionally, in the summer (this year it was August 23rd and 24th) there is a more extensive orientation. Sections and topics included in staff orientation involve sustainability aspects designated in the earth charter. These employee orientations have areas focused on the following sustainable aspects:
Environmental Health and Safety
Diversity awareness
Equal opportunity for people with disabilities,
Sustainable Global Partnerships
Health Care Counseling/Health Enhancement Program
All new employees are required to attend an orientation. Additionally, they are given information on how to get involved with the campus community through cultural or learning communities. Included in these communities is our environmentally focused living and learning community, EcoHouse.
