DR. Monte Palmer

I had known Professor Monte Palmer since 1977 when I joined the Florida State University´s graduate program in political science. For me, Monte was not just a man who supervised my doctoral dissertation and provided me with the knowledge to pursue my academic career. He was a towering individual with an unsurpassable understanding of the world. As a role model whose wisdom and foresight taught me how to negotiate the turbulences of life while maintaining the moral high ground, I will cherish my friendship with Monte for the rest of my life. May his soul rest in peace.
