A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:
With the rise of COVID-19, orientation efforts of new employees were moved online in the form of a presentation over Zoom. Within that presentation, topics of sustainability are covered including alternative transportation options, waste and recycling information, and dining options on campus. Contact information for the VT Office of Sustainability is also provided. The slide which summarizes "Sustainability at Virginia Tech" can be viewed in the attachments for this credit.
