A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation :
During 100% of orientations, new students are provided opportunities to learn about sustainability at the university. At the Student Activities Fair, all student organizations and many campus departments have a booth where they interact and educate new students on their activities. This includes the Office of Sustainability and sustainability-oriented organizations. Information provided at orientation events, activities, and presentations include recycling, the Comet Composting program, volunteering opportunities, the honey helpers program, Eco Hub and other gardening opportunities, LEED-certified buildings, and/or Earth Week programming.
