A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
For the 2015 Buckeye Book Community (BBC), first-year students were given a sustainability themed reading selection (“The Good Food Revolution” by Will Allen) during orientation and are asked to complete the reading before they return to campus to be prepared to discuss and analyze what they have read. The experience culminates with a visit from Allen. The BBC connects the first-year class through a shared experience and introduces the expectation that college students cultivate a life of learning both in and outside the classroom.
