We recently welcomed to the Dean’s Advisory Council Michael R. Kourey, executive vice president, finance and administration, chief financial officer and board director of Polycom, Inc., a global leader in unified communications solutions with industry-leading telepresence, video, voice and infrastructure solutions. Kourey spoke to new MBA students in fall 2009 after they signed a student-initiated Ethics Pledge.

“There is a lot that you can do to put ethics and integrity into practice, starting—and most importantly—by promoting a positive, consistent tone from the top,” Koury told students. “Your initiative speaks to your integrity as a group.”
