CBPP's 2024 Celebration of Excellence Honors Student Accomplishments

April 29, 2024

At the College of Business and Public Policy's Celebration of Excellence held on April 19th, the graduates of the 2023-24 Tom Case Leadership Fellows and Leadership Fellows Academy were announced, along with the 2024 Beta Gamma Sigma inductees and winners of CBPP's AI logo design contest.

Tom Case Leadership Fellows and Leadership Fellows Academy

The Leadership Fellows Program offers business students the chance to observe and learn from a nonprofit corporation's board of directors. It also includes a year-long, one-on-one mentorship with notable leaders in Anchorage. The Middle College Academy Fellows are exposed to leadership principles, equipping them for future leadership roles in Alaska. During the ceremony, all Tom Case Leadership Fellows and Academy graduates were presented with certificates and honor cords to acknowledge their achievements.

Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society

Beta Gamma Sigma represents the highest national recognition attainable by undergraduate or graduate business students in an AACSB-accredited college. It stands as the foremost honor society for both business students and educators. At the ceremony, the inductees were encouraged to uphold the values symbolized by each Greek letter in the Beta Gamma Sigma name: Beta for Honor, Gamma for Wisdom, and Sigma for Earnestness. Dean Nofsinger presented each inductee with a certificate and blue and gold Beta Gamma Sigma honor cord.

AI Logo Design Contest

CBPP has been leading the way into the AI space since 2019; offering courses, certificates and educational opportunities related to artificial intelligence and how it impacts every field. In recent years AI image generation has exploded, which allowed us to give students another opportunity to develop their AI skills by developing a new logo design for the college.

Congratulations to the graduates of the 2023-24 Tom Case Leadership Fellows and Leadership Fellows Academy, the 2024 Beta Gamma Sigma inductees, as well as the winners of the AI Logo Design Contest! Your commitment and diligence in both academics and leadership growth have paid off, and we take pride in honoring your accomplishments. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and eagerly anticipate the positive impact you will make within your communities.
