Turner College’s BGS Chapter Earns High Honors

Mary Gowan, Chair of the Board of Governors for Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS), the international honor society for AACSB accredited business programs, recently congratulated the Turner College’s Beta Gamma Sigma chapter for earning High Honors status for the 2020-2021 academic year, which is the second-highest distinction possible for BGS chapters.  By earning High Honors status, the Turner College’s BGS chapter becomes eligible to nominate candidates for some of the honor society’s prestigious global awards, including Outstanding Chapter of the Year and the Business Achievement and Entrepreneurial Achievement Awards, which recognize community business leaders, alumni, or donors.  Gowan, Dean of the Mike Cottrell College of Business at the University of North Georgia, congratulated the Turner College for achieving this outstanding distinction.  “We appreciate your team’s diligent work and your continuing support of Beta Gamma Sigma.  We look forward to working with your chapter in the 2021-2022 academic year,” Gowan stated.  To celebrate this achievement, the Turner College’s BGS chapter will be recognized at BGS events, in its social media, and publications such as the Recognition of Excellence program distributed to business school deans around the world at AACSB’s international conference.
