A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
During new student orientation the Chancellor of Morris talks to new students about being at Morris. Sustainability-related themes are directly discussed during her introduction to campus life.
During orientation/Welcome Week we offer students "sustainability tours" to identify our campus sustainability efforts. During the tour students visit the wind turbines, biomass plant, solar thermal systems, solar PV, green buildings, compost areas, and more.
We also highlight our mission and vision as offering a "renewable, sustainable education" at Morris, which is evident as students driving to campus are welcomed by our two 1.65MW U of M wind turbines. One common first night floor activity is a walk up the hill to sit under the turbines. In addition, we highlight the 'hit the lights' stickers and recycling bins prominently featured on campus.
