Has the institution chosen a sustainability-related theme for its themed semester, year, or first-year experience during the past three years?:
Yes

A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:

Every semester at UB has a sustainability theme. First year students are greeted at orientation with our sustainability values in full practice, and within the first three weeks of class, students are presented with the annual Greener Shade of Blue & You expo that showcases how students can be more sustainable. Throughout the semester, courses and research highlight sustainability on campus. In the spring, UB's Sustainability Round Table brings together student groups to plan sustainability expos and Earth Day events beginning as early as April. Sustainability is part of who we are--every semester, and every year.
