Graduate Pledge Alliance

A few schools have started a simple program called the Graduate Pledge Alliance. From the Boston University student environmental website:

ESO has recently brought the Graduate Pledge Alliance (GPA) to BU! GPA is a non-binding pledge made by graduating seniors stating that they will take the environment into consideration in whatever job they take in the workforce. GPA seniors wear a green armband during graduation ceremonies in order to distinguish themselves. Their commitment means that no matter what field these seniors go into, they will work to make their organization more environment-friendly. BU is in good company on this initiative. MIT and Harvard's GPA movements are already in full swing. BU's students finally have the opportunity to show the administration and the rest of the academic community that we are committed to a sustainable future!


Other Schools include: Penn State, Tufts, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Harvard, Middlebury, U of Massachussets, U of Michigan, and more, totalling about 100. Visit www.graduatepledge.org for more.

This might be something Williams could do fairly easily, but then again we need to weigh it against other projects that we wish to bring up to the college.
