Fulfill Graduation Requirements Through Gamma Iota Sigma
As a required part of the Fox School of Business and Management’s curriculum, students must complete BA 2101 (100). In response to the high demand for this course, Gamma Iota Sigma has been asked to give its members the opportunity to receive credit for BA 2101 (100) through fulfillment of the Gamma Iota Sigma professional development activities. The activities include those which are required to be in the Gamma Iota Sigma resume book in addition to the completion of a BA 2101 (100) workshop. This workshop truly bridges the gap between the information provided in the Gamma Iota Sigma professional development workshops and that which is learned when completing BA 2101 (100) through FSBM. This semester’s BA 2101 (100) workshop is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 5, 2011 from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM in Alter Hall Auditorium (A031).

In addition, the department has created a new course that rewards students for continuing to professionally develop themselves through Gamma Iota Sigma. This course is essentially a one-credit independent study course, but it does not satisfy any specific requirements towards a major. The course revolves primarily around community service activities within the Philadelphia area.

Gamma Iota Sigma: Committees
In addition to the benefits of receiving course credits, paid members of Gamma Iota Sigma are encouraged to join the various committees of our organization. These committees enable members to grow their social networks through exposure to others who are also interested in Risk, Insurance, Healthcare Management, or Actuarial Science. Participation in a committee enables our members to increase their professional skill sets and contribute through various activities to our organization. Lastly, and most importantly, committee participants have fun!
