Anecdotally, the authors of this post have now persuaded nearly 10% of the students at their university to take a GWWC pledge (trial or full), while the pledge rate at most universities is well under 1%. After getting to know these authors, I believe this incredible success is due to their kindness, charisma, passion and integrity—not because the audience at their university is fundamentally different than at other universities.
Wow, that boggles my mind, especially as someone who attended a similar school for undergrad. Anywhere we can read about this? Presumably this happened after the initial post which reported 80 pledges.
(Middlebury has about 2800 undergrads so this would be 280 students taking the trial or full GWWC pledges.)

Yes that’s right! I’ll message them to see if they’re able to share more info on this thread
