In 2009 a group of MBA students initiated the UC Davis MBA Ethics pledge. This ceremony focuses on integrity in business and community involvement.

Pledging Honesty and Integrity: Believing that integrity is a cornerstone of leadership, students begin their MBA experience with an ethics pledge to “complete my degree with honesty and integrity” and to “hold myself and my classmates to the highest standards of honor from this day forward.” Every Daytime MBA student voluntarily signed the student-initiated declaration.
