KEKANGELS SCHOOL’S GRADUATION CEREMONY

Two Palmers who are pursuing, BSc. Business Information Technology recently had an experience that perfectly captured the heart of Palm University’s mission.

Their kindness and steady presence turned what could have been a routine event into a celebration filled with joy and confidence.

Their story reminds us that leadership is not always about taking center stage. Sometimes, it’s about creating a space for others to shine. By giving their time and hearts, Our Palmers turned a simple act of volunteering into a moment of great impact.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AT A LOCAL WASH BAY

 A sophomore pursuing BSc. Business Information Technology recently completed his community service at a local car wash bay within the town of Twifo-Hemang.

He rolled up his sleeves at the local car wash bay, not for pay, but to give back to his community. With every bucket of water and every car he helped clean, he discovered that true leadership is not about titles or applause, but about showing up consistently and making small, meaningful contributions.

His story reflects Palm’s mission to nurture ethical, compassionate leaders who serve with purpose.

Through service, our students not only touch lives but also grow into ethical leaders and changemakers who are willing to give back.
