Member Profile:
Tessa Hoskin, Senior Consultant, Raytheon
Right alongside a pile of U.S. Black
Engineer magazines and other "techie"
reading, Tessa Hoskin keeps the latest copy of Bloomberg
Businessweek. She's a degreed electrical engineer,
but is also involved with integrating corporate acquisitions.
There's a new breed of engineers out
there, and Tessa Hoskin is one of them.
Part of her job as a senior consultant
at Raytheon involves managing employees in the Raytheon
Rotation Program, and they often hear her mention this.
"“I try to explain that there is a new breed
of engineers who say, 'Hey look, I like being technical
but I also want to know what is going on in my business
sector.'"”

 A
conversation with
Donald H. Driemeier
Beta Gamma Sigma President 1982-1984
"It’s very important
for schools of business to recognize the best of their
students. And, really, it’s important to recognize
them at any level because if you take a group of students
- graduate students or undergraduate students - and
say, 'We want to recognize you because you’re
the best of the best,' it establishes a lifetime relationship
between the school and your better students. That relationship
pays dividends to both the students and the school."

BGS members! The most reoccurring Centennial project
is the BGS Gives Back Service Initiative. We want to
track your community service hours for an entire year.
Seem demanding? It's really not, because we
know a lot of BGS members are doing something for their
community already. But if you never log
your hours on Tuttidaré, we will have no way
of knowing about it!
Would you take a few minutes today
to log into your account and document the hours each
month that you volunteer (or, if you'd prefer, a cumulative
guess for the year)?
Nearly 100 fellow BGS members have already begun this
process. Below is some insight from Kristin Heller,
a BGS member from Vermont.
 It
is important to remember that there are others
who are not as fortunate and that we are able
to act in a way that can benefit others. Volunteering
is not the only way to do this, but I find as
a college student, I have more time to give than
money. You directly affect people within the area
and can see the benefit of your work.
"Giving back" enriches both my personal
and professional life by diversifying the work
that I do and allowing me to be proud of my actions.
It is easy to get overwhelmed by school and work;
eventually the days become monotonous. By volunteering
with various groups I am able to change my schedule,
be outside, and work with people I may have never
met.

BGS History: |
Gamma
Epsilon Pi had been formed in 1918 as the women's
honor society for schools accredited by AACSB
because women were not allowed to be inducted
into Beta Gamma Sigma. In 1932 Beta Gamma Sigma
lifted its restriction to inducting women, so
action was taken to merge Gamma Epsilon Pi and
Beta Gamma Sigma. The 983 members of Gamma Epsilon
Pi were inducted as lifetime members of Beta
Gamma Sigma, and Grace C. Merrill was elected
to the Executive Committee of BGS.
In
the 1933-34 issue of the Exchange, J. Anderson
Fitzgerald, grand president of BGS, wrote: “"To
all members of Gamma Epsilon Pi, on behalf of
Beta Gamma Sigma I welcome you most heartily.
Beta Gamma Sigma will be greater and more useful
because you have joined hands and hearts with
us. Under the terms of the merger agreement
each of you is now a full-fledged member…Congratulations
to us and much joy to you!" |
