Does the institution include sustainability prominently in new student orientation?:
A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
During the Earlham College New Student Orientation (NSO), an official sustainability committee strives to integrate sustainability into incoming students' experience. Past projects have included partnering with local energy provider Richmond Power & Light to give away CFLs, power strips and Kill-a-watts (energy consumption meter) to students, fun and educational activities involving discerning recyclable materials from non-recyclable, as well as a local bike ride around Richmond pointing out significant sustainability-related locations such as the local Clear Creek Food Co-op. Students in the dining hall help direct new students on composting food. Additionally, there is a resource board that is strategically located in the student center that encourages ride-sharing, freecycle, bus routes and other helpful information.
