A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
The Yale Office of Sustainability attends a tabling event for new students at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (FES) and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. The Office of Sustainability provides a brief presentation during new student orientation at the Yale Law School, Yale School of Nursing, and the Yale School of Architecture. The Yale Divinity School and Yale FES organize and deliver sustainability orientation programming. The Yale School of Music shows an orientation video about sustainability to new students.
