“Recognition as Superior Chapter is a significant
accomplishment,” noted Jan Taylor Morris, President, Beta Alpha Psi, the
international honor organization for financial information professionals. “Under
the leadership of Dr. Diana Franz, the Gamma Epsilon Chapter has far exceeded
the baseline requirements of Beta Alpha Psi and has excelled in the areas of
academics, professionalism and leadership. As faculty advisor for the chapter,
Dr. Franz has provided an invaluable service to your academic institution.”
“This validates a lot
of work, effort and attention to detail,” noted Dr. Franz, Accounting Professor
in the UT College of Business and Innovation.
“There is a lot of record keeping and recording of service hours between
the Chapter and the national office. The students had the vision that they
would go for the Superior status, so they identified what had to be done and
all pitched in to make it happen.”
“Because Beta Alpha Psi is a service organization, we did a
lot of events on weekends assisting a number of charitable organizations,” she
explained, “participating in a wide array of events which mirrored the students’
interests and availability.
“The link between the College of Business and Innovation and
the business professionals in our community is very strong,” Dr. Franz added.
“It is amazing to observe benefits that arise from this connection. COBI alumni
often come back to the college to speak at Gamma Epsilon meetings, even though
they are held late on weekday evenings. There is tremendous networking, which
is certainly beneficial for our students. And the message to the business
community is, ‘If you are in Beta, you are a leader.’”
