A plaque and a framed certificate stand on a table covered with blue tablecloth. The plaque is engraved with an American flag and the logo of the Order of the Engineer and reads "Order of the Engineer. Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering Link #270." The second certificate reads "The Pledge of the Computing Professional. Recognizing Computing as a Profession with ethical and moral responsibilities. Charter. We the undersigned on behalf of the Organization of The Pledge of the Computing Professional have this day approved and established the State of Maryland, Node Number 2 at Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering this 14th day of February in the year 2024. By this charter, we hereby authorize members of said node to conduct the rite of The Pledge of the Computing Professional to graduates from its computing disciplines." There are two signatures from the President, Board of Directors and the Node Supervisor.

During this event, students will pledge to honor the profession of the engineering, computer science, and other computing-related programs and to uphold and promote engineering ethical and moral behaviors as they transition to careers of service to society.

Doors and check-in will open at 9:30 a.m.
