A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
A seminar on sustainability-related topics (e.g. food, water, livable cities) is included in new undergraduate orientation but sustainability is not featured prominently in graduate orientation. In 2012, orientation also included a session on sustainability at WPI, the majors/programs that are offered, sustainability initiatives that take place throughout the year, and the various student groups devoted to sustainability and social justice.
