AUS School of Business Administration Awarded Highest Honor by Beta Gama Sigma

The AUS School of Business Administration (SBA) has been awarded the 'Highest Honor' status by the Beta Gama Sigma (BGS) Club in the US; the highest achievement for the BGS chapter in the region. To mark the event and to induct new BGS members, a celebration was organized at SBA which was attended by the Chancellor Dr. Björn Kjerfve, Interim Provost Kevin Mitchell; Acting Dean SBA Dr. Jorg Bley; faculty and students.

"Beta Gama Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in baccalaureates or post-baccalaureate programs at a school accredited by AACSB International," said Dr. Syed Rizvi Visiting Assistant Professor of Management and BGS chapter advisor. "For SBA it is another great feat after its recent successful revalidation of AACSB status by the assessment team."

The members received their induction certificate and the BGS golden key from Chancellor Dr. Kjerfve, who said, "I commend our students, faculty, Dr. Rizvi and Dr. Bley for this exemplary achievement which proves AUS' commitment towards achieving highest excellence in quality education in the region."

According to its website, "the mission of the International Honor Society Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and honor academic achievement in the study of business, to cultivate and celebrate leadership and professional excellence, to advance the values of the Society, and to serve its lifelong members."
