As a student at Harris-Stowe, I am firmly committed to doing all of the things, within my power, that will enable me to become the kind of graduate of which, I, myself, and my alma mater can be justly proud. To that end, I pledge myself to accomplish the following things throughout my years of study at Harris-Stowe State University – and beyond.
- To always respect myself, as a person who is endowed with great human dignity, and to always respect others in the very same way.
- To exhibit behavior, both on the campus and elsewhere, that is commensurate with, and worthy of, a mature person.
- To attend my classes on a regular basis, being absent only under circumstances which are beyond my control or which make my absence absolutely necessary.
- To not only attend both regularly and punctually, all of the classes in which I am enrolled, but to also perform academically as well as my abilities permit.
- To choose language and dress that are appropriate in a university and in all other environments in which I am a participant and to always refrain from being belligerent or offensive to others.
- To respect the beliefs and customs of others and to also recognize the importance of cooperation within any group of which I am a part.
- To be a problem-solver in the various situations that I encounter in life.
- To participate actively and constructively in the various events that takes place on and off the university campus.
- To be honest and sincere in all of my dealings with others.
These actions I solemnly pledge to perform to the very best of my ability.
