In April, Samford University Brock School of Business hosted several awards ceremonies recognizing the hard work of its students.
During the 60th annual Scholarships and Awards Ceremony held on Friday, April 12, more than $230,000 in scholarships were awarded to deserving business students to apply to tuition for the 2024-25 academic year. Four faculty members were also recognized for excellence in teaching, research and scholarship, and service.
Accounting major Molly Billingsley was awarded the Junior Outstanding Academic Achievement Award and Lizzie Pike, a rising senior marketing major, received the Dr. Betsy Bugg Holloway Scholarship recognizing the highest cumulative business school GPA.
Additionally, several of Brock School of Business’s newest scholarships were awarded, including the Vulcan Materials Company/Bennie Bumpers Scholarship. This new endowed scholarship, which supports students who are preparing for careers in the risk management and insurance industry, was presented by Paul Carter, vice president of Risk Management for Vulcan Materials, to finance major Elliott Wessels and Brock Scholar Sloane Womac.
On the evening of April 12, new members were inducted into several business honor societies including Beta Gamma Sigma, Gamma Iota Sigma, Omicron Delta Epsilon and the Financial Management Association.
And, on Tuesday, April 16, the accounting department and the Beta Alpha Psi accounting honorary society held its annual Scholarship and Awards Ceremony. During this event, more than $55,000 additional scholarships were awarded to undergraduate accounting and Master of Accountancy students.
