For the past four years, Southampton College has provided graduating Seniors with the opportunity to take a pledge of environmental and social responsibility.

The pledge states

"I pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects of any organizations for which I work."

This pledge is voluntary, and is meant to enrich your graduation day.  Many Southampton College students have a deep commitment to environmental and social issues.  The pledge is a way for Seniors to express how important these values are to their education at Southampton and to express a commitment to maintaining those values into the future. 

In past years, Student Government Association, the campus Greenprint Committee, and the College Administration have endorsed the pledge. Hundreds of Southampton College graduates have taken the pledge over the past few years, and we now invite your participation.  This pledge is also taken at many other campuses across the country.

On graduation day, you will receive a pledge ribbon that you can affix to your gown.
