Kevin Calisher - Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honor Society

The Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honors Society came into existence in the Spring of 1907 when a small group of business students requested the permission of faculty to create a commerce honor society. Since that time, alumni like Kevin Calisher have reaped the benefits of hard work and dedication at their Universities. Soon after its inception, in 1913 the honor society merged with two other groups becoming a National organization. In 1919, the society took action to establish itself as the only scholastic honor society that would be recognized by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Currently, Beta Gamma Sigma is the only international honor society accredited by the AACSB (Now named the AACSB International - Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business) Membership with the organization is the highest recognition a business student can receive in any business program around the world that is accredited by the AACSB International.

The Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honor Society makes it a mission to honor academic achievement and encourage the study of business while promoting leadership and professionalism. The association aims to serve its lifelong members while advancing the values of the organization for current and future students as well. The Society believes the following to be important aspects of membership for those who are admitted.

1. The encouragement of academic achievements for students in business management related studies.

2. Honor and cultivate a spirit of leadership and excellence for its members.

3. To stay true to the founding values and principles of the society which are to remain honorable, pursue wisdom, maintain integrity, and to value the pursuit of earnestness and service.

4. To be a place where current and former business students and professionals affiliated with the association can connect and encourage one another.

Donations can be made to the society and are greatly appreciated. The organization focuses on creating the leaders for the future and donations toward the society’s efforts helps make the goals a reality.

Many society members have seen themselves reach levels of success they may have never otherwise believed possible without the encouragement and guidance of the Beta Gamma Sigma. Kevin Calisher is one of the many society members who greatly valued his time spent with the organization as a student. Recognizing and promoting excellence is an important aspect of his work and as President of a healthcare consulting firm, Calisher and Associates, Calisher believes in always putting forward his best efforts. Many of these values were instilled in society members and nurtured in those who already possessed the drive and innovation necessary to achieve success.
