A brief description of the graduation pledge program:
GW offers a green graduation pledge to graduating seniors, which 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." Students who sign the pledge receive a ribbon that they can wear to graduation, and are added to the Green Alumni Network listserv to stay engaged in sustainability at GW in the future. Since 2010, over 400 students have signed the green graduation pledge.
