Take the pledge
Small actions, actually kept
The pledge is a 30-day commitment to specific, trackable actions across seven areas of campus life. Students, faculty, staff, and community members choose what they will do, set a check-in date, and log their progress along the way. A pledge you can measure is a pledge you can keep.
How it works
Build a pledge you can actually keep
Pick the specific actions you will take over the next 30 days. Start with one or two; a small pledge you keep is worth more than a long one you forget. Your pledge and progress are saved in this browser, so you can come back and log what you have done.

Why specific, time-bound actions?
General intentions rarely change behaviour on their own. Commitments work best when they are concrete, made in advance, and followed up: that is why each action here names exactly what to do, how to log it, and when to look back. Want to go further?
