USM's School of Business was recently installed as an official chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, the honor society for AASCB-accredited business programs. USM is one of only 350 schools of business, out of 1400 nationwide, to host a Beta Gamma Sigma chapter. At the ceremony, which occurred during the annual recognition day for the School of Business, 19 baccalaureate students, nine MBA students, and three faculty/administrators were inducted into the society. The latter category included John M. Burt, Dean of the School of Business; Jean E. Gutmann, professor of accounting and Director of Student Affairs for the School of Business; and Richard Pattenaude, President of USM.
The School of Business has presented its Faculty Award for Intellectual Contributions to assistant professor Steven Jackson and its Faculty Award for Public Service to associate professor John Bay.
The College of Arts & Sciences has named professor Sat Gupta for the College's Outstanding Teacher/Scholar Award; assistant professor Robert Sanford for its Emerging Teacher/Scholar Award; and Mary Snell of the Theater Dept. for its Staff Service Award.
