Graduation Pledge

The Graduation Pledge has been adopted by Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, McMaster, Dalhousie, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and UBC to name a few. The pledge would be tailored to Schulich, but would be something like: "I________ pledge to explore and take into account the social, environmental and ethical consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects of any organisation for which I work".

Some schools have added a sentence in the convocation program, and a few words during the ceremony. Others have worn ribbons to convocation to show their support. The details for Schulich will follow.

Participation is completely voluntary and an entirely personal decision. We are trying to determine how many people would want to take the pledge. As such, if you are interested in taking the pledge at convocation (regardless of when you actually graduate), please indicate this by signing your name and e-mail address. We want to get an idea of how many people are interested. Thanks for your time and support.
