A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
The Director of Sustainability worked with orientation leaders to be sure sustainability was prominently included in new student orientation. The President of the college included sustainability in his welcome address. The Director had an entire evening with the new students. A zero waste and local dinner was hosted, with lots of educational information on sustainable food systems. The student orientation leaders were all given sustainability discussion questions to use while they ate dinner in small groups. A “waste relay” was then held on our soccer field, where all 500 students competed in an educational, sorting activity (recycling, composting, trash) in a relay style.
