Green Graduation Pledge

UF encourages students to make a commitment to sustainability that extends beyond their time at the university.

“I pledge to explore and take into account the social and ecological consequences of my decisions. Furthermore, I pledge to use the knowledge I gain at UF to improve the sustainability of the communities in which I live, learn, and work.”
