Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Do values pledged at graduation endure over time? This study examines long-term social justice and environmental behaviors among Humboldt alumni (N = 1,240) who took the Humboldt Graduation Pledge. Using exploratory factor analysis, we identify key dimensions of sustained engagement across personal, civic, and professional domains. Results highlight workplace-based activism as a central avenue through which alumni enact these commitments, suggesting that institutional pledges may shape not just intentions, but long-term behavior in everyday and professional life.
