A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:

New Staff Orientation provides a general overview of Penn policies and practices, plus little-known facts about the University. Presenters explain how to build a career at Penn, and also discuss major University policies and programs, medical and tuition benefits, transportation services and parking options, employee resources, campus recreational facilities and more. The three-hour morning sessions, coordinated by Human Resources’ Learning and Education Department, feature videos on campus safety and security and Penn’s history and structure. The University's Climate Action Plan is presented as part of the orientation and outlines how staff can get involved with current environmental sustainability initiatives on campus.

New Staff Orientation sessions are held 14 times a year.
