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

During new student orientation, VCU Sustainability presents on the University's green initiatives and tips for sustainable living. Orientation is staffed both by the Sustainability office's full time staff and by student interns so that students are able to learn about initiatives from and engage with peer educators as well as full time staff. Sustainability content is also included in the VCU Ram Ready modules that all students complete as part of the virtual section of the orientation process.
