Jen Ngo
Special Agent, Federal Bureau of Investigations

When a million dollars in cash earned from illegal diet pills is tucked in the basement walls of a doctor’s home, you might suspect some crooked business. When you’re one of the FBI agents who finds the money and nails the guy like Jen Ngo did, consider your job well-done.

What you might fail to recognize is that this particular agent is detecting fraud and prosecuting criminals in part thanks to her degree in accounting.

“The financial end was very helpful in that case,” explained Ngo, Special Agent with the FBI Philadelphia Division.

While busting criminals may not be part of a typical day for Beta Gamma Sigma members, this story is just business as usual for Ngo. It is just one example of how her degree in accounting from La Salle University proved valuable.

Ngo was a standout student at La Salle. She was a recipient of the Beta Gamma Sigma Excellence Award in 2000 and was awarded the La Salle Faculty Accounting Award in 2001.

Following graduation, Ngo spent a few years at PricewaterhouseCoopers, but it was only a short time before she would set her sights on the Bureau, as it is often called, to launch the career of her dreams.

“I knew where I wanted to be,” she said. “I wanted to be an FBI agent since I was 12.”

Opportunities to get involved with the Society's Centennial Celebration

Beta Gamma Sigma continues its year-long celebration leading up to its 100th year honoring the “Best in Business” through several exclusive projects infused with creativity, collaboration, and philanthropy. Here are some of the upcoming opportunities to take advantage of.

The Meet the Leaders of Business Speaker Series gives members one-of-a-kind insight from top business executives, and the first one kicks off in Cleveland on July 26th. Beth Mooney, CEO of KeyCorp, will be giving the address. BGS plans to include various ways to tune in from afar, so all BGS members can “meet” her; check back on the website for that information closer to time!

The BGS is Everywhere Photo Contest puts “Professor Elwell,” the stuffed owl Centennial mascot, in the spotlight. Make sure to print off your own Elwell so that you can pack him in your vacation suitcase for the summer! Here’s a link to help: http://www.betagammasigma.org/centennial/profelwell.pdf

The BGS Gives Back Service Initiative informs the Society and its members of the many ways the extremely talented BGS community gives back to society. All we need is you to estimate your volunteer hours by month or by year, and enter it onto a special site linked from here: http://www.betagammasigma.org/centennial/bgsgivesback.html
