30 Appendix D: IUHPFL Pledge of Excellence

IUHPFL Pledge of Excellence: In the IUHPFL model, the strength of the program as a whole is only as strong as its individual students. This means that the Pledge of Excellence is as much a pledge to one’s team as to oneself. Students recite this pledge in unison at the Student-Guardian Orientation before departure:

“As I embrace my IUHPFL journey and commit to the Honor Code, I pledge to speak only the target language, uphold the 8 Core Values, celebrate my host family experience, and remain self-disciplined. I will choose to discover the best in myself and others, foster team unity, represent my school, family, and community with pride, and be a good ambassador for IUHPFL.”
