A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
During 100% of orientations, new students are provided opportunities to learn about sustainability at the university. At the Student Activities Fair, all student organizations and many campus departments have a booth where they interact and educate new students on their activities. This includes the Office of Sustainability and sustainability-oriented organizations. Information provided at orientation events, activities, and presentations include recycling, volunteering opportunities, the community garden program, V Bikes bicycle programs, Zipcar Car-Sharing program, public transportation options, locations of car charging stations, LEED certified buildings, and/or Earth Week programming.
