One small effort to include sustainability in new student orientation is in the online 'New Student Guide' both the 'Things to Bring' and 'Green Living' sections. These sections include suggestions on how to create a sustainable dorm room, general information about campus sustainability efforts and ways for students to get involved. This guide is heavily linked to the campus green pages. Students receive this guide before they arrive on campus.
