Adam Smith Business School

A special Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) Recognition Dinner saw 47 new undergraduate students inducted to become BGS members recently.

The event celebrated student leadership, the achievement of the Glasgow Chapter to date, and encouraged members to participate and develop their leadership skills.

Professor John Finch, head of Adam Smith Business School and BGS Glasgow Chapter President, gave a speech and presented the students with membership certificates and the key of Beta Gamma Sigma, a symbol of the ideals of Honour, Wisdom and Earnestness, upon which BGS was founded.

At the ceremony, BGS Student Officers announced their events programme for the coming year including Focus - a mindfulness workshop, a public speaking masterclass and a Dynamic Careers panel. The student officers are also working with fellow student society, 180DC, to develop a charity consultation challenge.

The ceremony was followed by a dinner and networking.

University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School is one of just five UK universities who has a Beta Gamma Sigma chapter. The BGS Collegiate Chapter enables the Business School to work more closely with AACSB to enhance its student and alumni experience. Of the thousands of students that complete their business degree, only the best qualify for membership in the Beta Gamma Sigma Society.

This recognition of academic excellence is benefitting the School and its students through:

• Opportunities for further studies and employment

• Opportunities for student leadership and community service 

• Increased connection to a global network of top scholars and business leaders.
