Sixty students and a prominent High Point attorney were inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma national honor society at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Bryan School of Business and Economics during the 2010 spring semester.
Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) is a national honor society for business students. Qualifying for membership is the highest scholastic honor a student in business can obtain. To be eligible, students must rank in the upper 10 percent of their junior class, the upper 10 percent of their senior class or the upper 20 percent of their graduate class.
Students who receive a BGS award must attend schools that are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International).
James F. Morgan, partner at Morgan, Herring, Morgan, Green & Rosenblutt, LLP in High Point, was inducted as an honorary member of the honor society. Morgan is chair of the UNCG Bryan School Business Advisory Board, chairman of the Piedmont Triad Partnership, and has been a leader in more than 60 organizations.
