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

A video that highlights the importance and the possibilities of recycling on campus is showcased during 1st floor meetings in all the major residence halls.

In addition 3 postcards are placed on all campus residents doors. One is educating students on energy usage through "vampire loads", the second is on separating recyclables from regular waste, the third is on finding useful ways to reuse items. All residents were asked to fill out a pledge card in August.
