Wartburg College offers their graduating senior students the opportunity to sign a sustainability pledge. This is a pledge that Wartburg encourages all seniors to take as they venture forward into the working world. This pledge is a promise that students will be citizens of the earth, meaning they will take responsibility in caring for the earth in their future careers. In this pledge, the student promises to recycle when they can, be conscious of the footprint they leave on the earth, and to leave the environment as clean if not cleaner than they arrived. Students who take this pledge will receive a pin to wear underneath their gown during graduation and will be recognized during the ceremony by Wartburg President Colson or Wartburg Dean Ernsting. The pledge reads as follows: “I pledge to 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.” To read more about the pledge and other Wartburg Sustainability efforts, click here.
