On April 23rd, fourteen COBA students were honored at a luncheon celebrating their induction into Beta Gamma Sigma, a business honors society. Dr. Monty Lynn, acting dean of COBA, described this honor, saying, \u201cGiven that the top 20% of the junior and senior class and the top 10% of graduate students in COBA may be considered for membership, induction into BGS recognizes exceptional academic accomplishments.\u201d<\/p>\n

BGS is a significant honor because it takes into account the merit of both the students and the college of business.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly AACSB accredited schools of business are allowed to have a BGS chapter,\u201d elaborates Dr. Lynn. \u201cInternationally, BGS is recognized as the best academic performance in the best business schools. We\u2019re glad that the diligence and talents of our students can be recognized by an international standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allie Rostron, one of the students who received this honor, was thankful for COBA\u2019s acknowledgement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great honor and I was very appreciative. It was nice to see my hard work pay off.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0\u201cI was honored to hear that I had been selected for Beta Gamma Sigma,\u201d Courtney said. \u201cCOBA has been a special place for me already in my time at ACU, and the ability to join this prestigious honor society only added to the numerous opportunities COBA has presented to me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
