“Through the honor system, we all take ownership of the Palm mission of educating ethical leaders, holding one another responsible, and thereby protecting the integrity of being educated at Palm at all cost.”
“In a culture that predominantly defaults to silence, the GVV Africa program offers a timely intervention, with strategies to speak up, highlighting real-life cases involving African leaders and how they spoke up.”
