BHSU BGS Chapter earns Best in Business Honor
The BHSU's Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) chapter received Best in Business Honors for the 2014‐15 academic
year. The status is indicative of a campus where academic excellence is valued and where the faculty officers
of the chapter work diligently to enhance Beta Gamma Sigma’s stature on campus. BGS is an honor society in
business open to AACSB‐accredited institutions only. The BHSU chapters was chartered in spring 2015. I
extend a special thanks to Ms. Laura Prosser, BGS advisor, and Dr. Susan Dana, BGS secretary, along with Dr.
Liz Diers, former BGS co‐advisor, for their work in regard to the chartering of a BGS chapter at BHSU and to
organizing the BGS ceremony the BGS ceremony in spring 2015. These faculty members provided valuable
leadership to this effort. This is a special honor for the BHSU BGS Chapter and for BHSU.
