Organizers said the pledge is for people pursuing all kinds of professions--from future Peace Corps members to investment bankers.
The pledge is non-binding, noted the committee's sophomore representative Gretchen A. Stevens '01, so no one will be checking up on seniors to make sure they follow through.
"It's just kind of a pledge to yourself," Stevens said.
The pledge is open to personal interpretation--Stevens said seniors may take a job and decide to work within the organization to encourage socially responsible policies, or they might decline a position altogether based on the company's practices.
Manchester College initiated the senior pledge more than a decade ago, and the idea has gained momentum ever since.
