A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
The following actions were taken to ensure that all students were exposed to sustainability concepts and actions during orientation for AY 22-23:
- An orientation guide was provided to all incoming students. This guide consists of, among other things, a list of resources important to incoming student, including a link to the campus Sustainability Webpage.
- The Florida Tech Academic Program hosted two presentations on Sustainability Opportunities Throughout Florida Tech as an orientation option for incoming students. The description of the presentation was "Learn from students and faculty about many opportunities to increase campus sustainability while having fun and building your resume”.
- The Florida Tech Sustainability Academic Program had a booth at the large Student-Life Fair, where upperclassmen explained and passed out materials related to sustainability at Florida Tech.
- The large format digital LED display outside the Denius Student Center had a slide containing both 1-story tall message with a link to the Florida Tech Sustainability Webpage, as well as the Florida Tech Sustainability Instagram handle.
