Member Profile:
Caroline Moore, Director and Co-Founder, LearnAhead
 If
you catch Caroline Moore unplugging from work, you might
find her playing the popular game “Angry Birds
Space” on her iPad. The popularity of smart phones
and tablets has turned everything into an application—or
to borrow from popular vernacular, an app—including
newspaper articles, ninja games, and nutrition calculators.
Moore and
her company, LearnAhead, have created an app for English
language learning.
Moore’s
app proves that turning on your iPhone doesn’t
have to mean you’re turning off your brain. While
“Angry Birds Space” is purely for fun, there
are more and more apps that have popped up to serve
educational purposes.

 As
part of the BGS Centennial, Beta Gamma Sigma held a
special BGS Gives Back Day of Service,
sponsored by The KPMG Foundation, on October 27th. Individual
members, collegiate chapters and alumni chapters alike
all did their part to give back to their respective
communities.

did as part of the Day of Service
If you missed the Day of
Service, it's still not too late to roll up your sleeves
and make a positive impact in your community. The BGS
Gives Back Centennial Service Initiative will continue
through March 1, 2013. We
encourage you to log-in and let us know about the
good work you've been doing.
 Attention

Back," all BGS members who log

Sure, Professor Elwell could just fly himself...but
why use wings when you can travel with style in a hot
air balloon? |

This
month in
BGS History: |
On Nov.
20, 1985, T. Boone Pickens, Jr., president and chairman
of Mesa Petroleum Company, was interviewed by Dr. James
H. Bearden, then-vice president of Beta Gamma Sigma.
The interview was part of Pickens’ session at
the Beta Gamma Sigma National Seminar, which was the
precursor of today’s BGS Student Leadership Forum.
Pickens made several very provocative statements.
In answering
a question about the public’s negative perception
of certain business leaders who were involved in controversial
acquisition activities at the time, he said, “The
public doesn’t know Warren Buffett very well.”
That has certainly changed over the past 27 years.
