GRADUATION PLEDGE ALLIANCE
In 1987, Humboldt State University (California) initiated
the Pledge of Social and Environmental Responsibility. It states
"I pledge to investigate and take into account the social and
environmental consequences of any job opportunity I consider."
Since that time, dozens of colleges and universities have enacted
the voluntary pledge, which allows students to define what
"responsible" means to them.
In 1996, Manchester College began coordination of the
campaign effort, which has taken different forms at different
institutions. At Manchester, it is a community-wide event
coordinated by a diverse committee. Students sign and keep a
wallet-size card stating the pledge (50-60% typically do), while
students and supportive faculty wear green ribbons at
commencement, with the pledge being printed in the formal
commencement program. The pledge helps educate and motivate
students to contribute to a better world, and can be a focal
point for other types of consciousness raising both on and off
campus.
