Yes

A brief description of the graduation pledge program:

Since 2000, Environmental Studies students have organized the "Senior Graduation Pledge" for commencement. The graduates state: "I pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve these aspects of any organization for which I work." Taking the pledge is voluntary; students determine for themselves what they consider to be socially and environmentally responsible. The students who pledge wear a green ribbon on their graduation gown.
