Golf outing raises scholarship funds Around 50 golfers gathered at the Worthington Hills Country Club on July 13, 2009, for a golf outing that raised $3,000 in scholarship funds for students in The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration. A first-time event, the golf outing was a success thanks to Paul Carbetta II, BSBA ’90, Karla Geise, BSBA ’07, assistant director of alumni affairs and a team of alumni who were instrumental in the event’s organization. “You would have thought that we had been doing this for quite a number of years,” said James W. Fenton Jr., Ph.D., dean of the College of Business Administration. “The organization and execution of the event were superb.” The goals of the event were to raise scholarship money and provide an opportunity for alumni and friends to reconnect with each other and the college. “The tough economic times did not help in our ability to obtain major sponsors,” said Fenton. “However, economic times do change, and things will progressively improve. We hope to obtain additional sponsors in the future. I very much appreciate those individuals and companies that helped to sponsor the outing this year.”
Student group receives national recognition The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration Mu Delta chapter of Beta Alpha Psi was recognized as a Distinguished Chapter for the 2008-09 year. Under the leadership of Dexter Woods, BSBA ’79, JD ’82, Ohio Northern professor of business administration, the Beta Alpha Psi Board of Directors honored the ONU chapter for far exceeding the requirements of Beta Alpha Psi and excelling in the areas
of academics, professionalism and leadership. Woods said he was especially pleased because ONU was only installed as a new chapter in October 2008 and has already received national recognition. “The recognition is based on the average number of hours each chapter member engages in professional activities, service activities and national or regional
activities,” Woods said. “With an average of 20 members, the club would not have earned status as a new chapter or as a distinguished chapter without the excellent participation of each and every member. Such participation will serve them well as they transition from students to professionals.” Beta Alpha Psi is an honorary organization for financial information students and professionals. The primary
objective of Beta Alpha Psi is to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and professional excellence in the business information field. This includes promoting the study and practice of accounting, finance and information systems; providing opportunities for self-development, service and association among members and practicing professionals; and encouraging a sense of ethical, social and public responsibility.
