A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation:
Each year during orientation, first-year students take part in the First Year Matters (FYM) Program. They engage in multidisciplinary discussions about a central theme and participate in a Common Moment, in which the arts are used to catalyze and embody the understanding of the theme. From 2008-2012, First Year Matters adopted a sustainability-focused theme, such as social justice, water, global climate change, or hunger. Beginning in 2013, FYM will alternate between a theme focused on diversity and inclusion and one focused on sustainability.
In 2013, the Sustainability Office offered two extended orientation sessions to all first-year students to share tips and facts about on-campus sustainability.
