To become a leading student affairs professional,
I will pledge certain values and commitments to three main areas:

1. To myself, I pledge to keep a balance between my profession and social atmospheres in order to have a healthy lifestyle that does not revolve around work. I pledge to apply my knowledge of student affairs theory to my practice in a holistic view of the college student. I pledge to pursue continual growth in student affairs knowledge, trends, theories, and current information.
   
   
2. To my university, I pledge to uphold the university and academic missions to enhance academic and student development. I pledge to keep an open mind to the changing diversity issues on campus and its students. To my department, I pledge to create an environment that will help students develop, learn, and enhance the quality of their lives and leadership qualities. To my student affairs colleagues, I pledge to uphold an open-door policy for support and assistance.
   
   
3. To my students, I pledge to be an advisor in their path as developing student leaders by providing opportunities to learn about their strengths and weaknesses and how to better themselves. I pledge to guide and listen to them in times of hardship and be a support figure in all their endeavors. I pledge to create a caring, respectable, acceptable, and learning environment to students that I serve in a holistic manner so to address academics along with all their other needs as college students. And last but foremost, I pledge that I will do all that I can so that they receive the most of their college experience and leave knowing they are better leaders and contributing citizens of this nation.
