"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."

At MIT we create innovations to help humanity – from business 
strategies, to clean energy technologies, and everything in between. 
However, to truly build a sustainable, abundant, and just world, we must 
make social and environmental awareness a personal lifestyle.

The Pledge of Social and Environmental Responsibility encourages grad 
students and undergrads to practice socio-environmental responsibility 
in their courses, research, internships, and future careers. It began at 
Humbolt State University 20 years ago and is now recognized at schools 
across the world as a privilege and an honor to uphold.

We will offer the Pledge to MIT students on November 8th. Pledge-takers 
will form groups to meet throughout the academic year and connect with 
knowledge, careers, leadership opportunities, and one another.  Our 
keynote speaker will be Aerospace Engineering senior Nicki Lehrer, 
founder of Children Of Guayaquil, Inc. which is an organization that 
provides education to Ecuadorian street children.

Please RSVP by November 4th.  We hope that you will take the Pledge!

The MIT Pledge Effort is supported by Students for Global 
Sustainability, the Technology and Culture Forum, and the MIT Energy 
Initiative's Education Office.
