Expect Respect

My son will be starting as a freshmen at the University of Michigan this fall. At his orientation, he was given this pin...

It was attached to a bookmark with a pledge:

I will foster an environment that values our similarities and our differences

I realize there are perspectives other than my own

I will strive to be honest and respectful in all my interactions and will presume good will

I will honor this committment in my classes, my personal life, and all other pursuits on and off campus. 

I will invite others to embrace this message. 

 

What if every employer required their people from the C-Suite down to pledge this and wear this pin? 

We all might be a little healthier!
