A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Sustainable UMass (Eco-Rep Program, Fellowship Program, Permaculture Initiative) is present at all New Students Orientations and Open Houses in the spring, summer, and fall. It holds information sessions for the new students to talk to them about sustainability and how they can get involved here on campus. In Fall 2013, NSO was completely sustainability themed and partnered with Sustainable UMass to hold sustainability discussions around the common read which was selected as "No Impact Man."
