A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
UMN Morris sustainability staff routinely present at new employee orientations. They inform new staff of what projects are happening on campus. In addition, sustainability staff take new employees on the campus Green Tour to show them the renewable energy infrastructure and discuss options for including these projects into class curriculum.

A video of campus history and sustainability initiatives is shown at orientations to help staff develop a sense of place, as well as to acquaint them with relevant sustainability topics.
