A brief description of the graduation pledge program:

Graduation Pledge Alliance (GPA)

The GPA program was founded at HSU in 1987 and actively promotes graduating students to take a pledge that they will commit to consider the environmental and social consequences of any future employment opportunity.

In 2011-12 The Graduation Pledge Alliance (GPA) Program collected 948 signatures from graduating seniors, an increase of 6.5% over the prior year, from graduating seniors pledging to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job considered and try to improve these aspects of any organization for which they work. GPA also partnered with a Business Marketing class to research ways to more actively involve the pledge into student life.

The pledge reads as follows: “I pledge to thoroughly investigate and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job opportunity that I consider.”
