A brief description of the graduation pledge program:

GVSU's liberal education focus emphasizes critical thinking, creative problem solving, and cultural understanding, preparing students for life in a fast-changing world. It fosters a commitment to economic, social, and environmental sustainability and an inclusive campus that values diversity. Through its forward thinking education, individuals are empowered to affect the global community now and in the future. Students make a voluntary pledge to use the knowledge and experience gained at GVSU and beyond to take into account the economic, social and environmental consequences of my decisions. They pledge to make every effort to reduce their ecological footprint and to improve the sustainability of the communities in which they live, learn, work and play.
