vow to improve social and environmental issues affecting their homes, jobs and communities. By making this promise, Long Island University’s newest graduates join students from other regional higher learning institutions; including Columbia University, Hunter
College, Fordham University and Manhattan College, as well as more than 130 universities nationwide through the Graduation Pledge Alliance - <a href="http://www.graduationpledge.org/"><b><span style="color:#FFB100">http://www.graduationpledge.org</span></b></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
