Penn State Harrisburg’s School of Business Administration congratulates twenty-eight students who have recently been invited to join Beta Gamma Sigma, an international honor society that recognizes business excellence.
The students are now part of an expanding worldwide network of more than 830,000 outstanding business professionals who have earned recognition through lifetime membership in the organization. Students ranking in the top ten percent of the baccalaureate and top twenty percent of graduate programs at schools accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, are eligible for this invitation.
The Penn State Harrisburg chapter named Helen Klinger as their distinguished chapter honoree. She currently serves as an economic development analyst with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. Her career includes twenty years of successful private sector experience in various information technology roles for Fortune 200 firms, as well as work in the nonprofit sector. An education advocate, she has served as an educational advisory board president for a private school in Lancaster County and as the president of the Penn State Harrisburg Alumni Society. Committed to advancing affordable education, Klinger and her husband created the Klinger Family Business School program at Penn State Harrisburg as well as the Christopher Klinger Open Doors Scholarship.
