Does the institution include sustainability prominently in new student orientation?:
A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
The UGA New Student Orientation is required for all students entering the University for the first time. Sustainability topics have been included in Orientation Fairs for years through various organizations with related interests. The Office of Sustainability has been promoting sustainability activities and opportuntites at UGA at New Student Orientation since 2010.
The UGA Office of Sustainability participates in the campus-wide First-year and Transfer Orientations. Since the Office was established in 2010 in response to the campus-wide recommendations and student-led initiatives, the primary responsibilities of the Office include coordination, communication and advancement of sustainability initiatives at the University of Georgia. With communication as one of the key foundations of the Office, it is natural to be present to answer questions and raise awareness about initiatives on campus and the many opportunities to work with and for the Office to incoming students. Office of Sustianability staff &/or interns represent the Office at New & Transfer Student Orientations.
