Commit to Complete

You’ve got big dreams, and you’ve got the potential to achieve them. We know that. But it takes more than ambition. It takes more than talent. It takes commitment.

That idea is the driving force behind Monroe’s Commit to Complete initiative. At the beginning of every semester, every student — no matter what their year, no matter what their major — is required to sign a pledge that they commit to complete their studies.

It’s something to be proud of, which is why we display the signatures on a huge banner for the whole community to see. Every time you walk by it, you’ll know you’re in great company, surrounded by peers who are as focused on excellence as you are.  You will also be reminded of the commitment you’ve made to your dreams — and the commitment you’ve made to yourself.

To complete my degree because I want to make my family proud and become successful. Because I came too far to give up. Myself and my future. Because I wanted to enhance my life more than my parents were able to do for me. Because I want to make my family proud and become a successful lawyer. Because I want to have a successful career. Because I want to be a successful firefighter. Because I want to create.


A business and opportunities for others. I commit to complete my degree because I want to be an inspiration for others. And I want to pursue my career. Because of my family. To make my grandmother proud. Because I want to open my own event planning business. Because I want to be the first male in my family to graduate college. To complete my degree because I want a better and brighter future for myself.
