A brief description of the graduation pledge program:

Gators Going Green is proud to announce the Green Gator Challenge. This challenge is designed to encourage individuals to become involved in the sustainability movement during their time here at UF. This challenge is open to all students. Individuals who complete the Challenge by the semester of their graduation will receive a cord to be worn during graduation. Are you up for the challenge?

Green Graduation Pledge

UF encourages students to make a commitment to sustainability that extends beyond their time at the university. This site serves as a repository of signatories so graduates can be part of a virtual community to connect and reflect on sustainability in a global context, as well as stay informed and involved with sustainable developments at UF.

"I pledge to explore and take into account the social and ecological consequences of my decisions. Furthermore, I pledge to use the knowledge I gain at UF to improve the sustainability of the communities in which I live, learn, and work."
