School of Business Inducts 19 New Members into Beta Gamma Sigma International Honor Society

This spring, St. John Fisher University’s Beta Gamma Sigma chapter tapped 17 students and two faculty members for induction. The international honor society is for AACSB-accredited schools representing the top five percent of business programs around the world.

Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International. Inductees represent the top 10 percent of undergraduate and 20 percent of graduate students from accounting, finance, management, marketing, healthcare administration, and master of business administration (MBA).

This year, the School recognized Anthony Monaco ’83, Rochester Colonial CEO and corporate counsel, as the 2026 Beta Gamma Sigma Chapter Honoree. As an active member of the Rochester community, he served for many years on the Board of Trustees of the Aquinas Institute and the Italian American Community Center, of which he is a past president. Monaco also served on the School of Business Dean’s Leadership Circle and is a founding member of the School’s Family Business Program Steering Committee.
