USM Business Students, Faculty Member Inducted in Beta Gamma Sigma

The College of Business chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) at The University of Southern Mississippi inducted 48 students and one faculty member this spring. Beta Gamma Sigma is a business honorary that recognizes academic excellence in business studies only at schools that are AACSB accredited (Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business).

The Southern Miss chapter of BGS has achieved “highest honors” status for the 3rd consecutive year. Of the 563 chapters in the world, only 52 achieved this status this year. 

Wanda Fennell, adviser to the Southern Miss chapter noted: “It is a privilege and honor to work with the members and leadership team of Beta Gamma Sigma at the University of Southern Mississippi. These are truly some of the best students at USM and are among the finest business students in the world.”

Students who are inducted are considered lifetime members. There are more than 791,000 individuals who have been inducted into BGS since 1913.
