The top 52 graduate and undergraduate students in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business Administration were inducted into the UNL chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma in a March 23 ceremony at UNL.

While almost 300,000 students receive bachelor's or master's degrees in business each year, only about 20,000 are inducted into lifetime membership in Beta Gamma Sigma. Students ranking in the top 7 percent of the junior class, top 10 percent of the senior class, and top 20 percent of master's programs at schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business are eligible for this invitation.

Beta Gamma Sigma was founded as a national organization on Feb. 19, 1913. The first national honor society in business, Beta Gamma Sigma today is an international society that remains dedicated to recognizing the most outstanding students of business and management.
