Congratulations to Wayne State’s 2019-2020 Beta Gamma Sigma inductees
The Mike Ilitch School of Business has inducted the newest members into its chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma. Beta Gamma Sigma is the only scholastic honor society recognized by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the major accrediting body for schools of business.
To be eligible for membership, students must rank in the top 10 percent of their sophomore, junior or senior class or the top 20 percent of those receiving master’s degrees in their school. Professors must have earned a doctorate from an AACSB accredited institution, be tenured business faculty or have taught six years on a non-tenure track. Administrators must be deans/directors or academic vice presidents.
With the in-person induction ceremony that was scheduled for April 20 canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ilitch School leadership had to be a little creative in celebrating this year’s class. Prof. Timothy Butler, the faculty advisor for the WSU chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, announced each of this year’s inductees via video from the safety of his backyard.
