Beta Gamma Sigma recognizes the top 10 per cent of the undergraduate class and the top 20 per cent of graduate students at institutions accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Earlier this year, Sparaga was recognized by AACSB as part of their International 2025 Class of Influential Leaders<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSuccess is not determined by a number on a transcript,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s something deeper and more personal. I realized knowledge and studying is essential, but more importantly it\u2019s persistence, flexibility, adaptability, perspective and ultimately, what your character is inside.\u201d<\/p>\n While reflecting on the importance of meaningful work, Sparaga referenced his work with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and encouraged the audience to spend time thinking about what economic reconciliation is about.<\/p>\n Among those listening intently was Zarin Nawal (MBA \u201925), who has been moving with purpose since arriving at Brock from Bangladesh several years ago.<\/p>\n At that time, she was worried her undergraduate studies in pharmaceutical sciences would leave her at a disadvantage studying business for the first time.<\/p>\n She heard about BGS and applied herself in her coursework to try and achieve the milestone in her first year \u2014 but fell just short of the 2024 admissions average. As she began her second year, concentrating in business analytics, her focus became centred on reaching this academic goal.<\/p>\n
