Beta Gamma Sigma Welcomes Top USD Business Students into the 2022 Inductee Class
This recognition ceremony symbolizes the induction into an exclusive group of top business scholars. Beta Gamma Sigma chapters are established at business institutions that have worked to attain prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation. Currently, just over 845 universities have earned this accreditation, and of that number, 600 have established a Beta Gamma Sigma chapter. From the pool of Beta Gamma Sigma chapters, only the top 10% of undergraduate students, the top 20% of graduate students and some of the most accomplished business practitioners are eligible to be recognized as members.
This year, Richard Muller, former Beacom faculty member, was recognized as the 2022 Honoree. Muller taught marketing in the Beacom School of Business for 10 years and retired five years ago. Called out of retirement this year to serve as a mentor on four Coyote Business Consulting Group projects, he brings 50 years of broadcast television and marketing experience to the work.
“Returning to Beacom and the students is the best retirement job there is,” Muller said.
Students who are inducted into Betta Gamma Sigma are considered lifetime members, and more than 800,000 individuals have been inducted since 1913.
