Green Destiny Projects: 2001-03
IV. Awakening Conscience --
The PSU Graduation Pledge
 In 1987 many graduates from Humboldt State University decided to make the following pledge on graduation day:
"I _______________ pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider or any organization for which I work."
Instituting the Pledge gets at the heart of a good education and can benefit society as a whole. Not only does it remind students of the ethical implications of the knowledge and training they received, but it can help lead to a socially-conscious citizenry and a better world. Penn State Professor of Philosophy, Dan Conway, is ready to work with Green Destiny student volunteers to develop a graduation pledge for Penn State, as well as an "action" strategy for incorporating the Pledge into Penn State commencement exercises. If you want to get involved in this initiative, contact Joshua Pearce (jmp228@psu.edu), Melissa Cardona (mxc399@psu.edu), or Dan Conway (dwc5@psu.edu).
