Each spring, new members are inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma national business honor society at Susquehanna. To be eligible to join, students must rank in the top 10 percent of their class and display good moral character.

“It is the highest academic honor that we can give in the business school, and students can be proud of this award for the remainder of their life,” explains chapter advisor Rick Davis, professor of accounting.

This summer the members received news that made them prouder yet. The Susquehanna chapter received Highest Honors Status among all chapters in the international business school honor society. The distinction is reserved for only the top 10 percent of chapters internationally.

“We are honored by this recognition from Beta Gamma Sigma’s national organization,” says Davis. “For our students, it’s confirmation that they are among the best and the brightest, both in the nation and around the world.”

Nineteen students, along with Assistant Professor of Finanace Peter Dadalt and Assistant Professor of Management Amir Bahman Radnejad, were inducted into the honor society for the 2017-18 academic year.
