Beta Gamma Sigma Key Unveiling 
College hosts dedication event
 
Officials of the College of Business Administration at Texas A&M University-Kingsville dedicated the Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) key in a ceremony held Friday, April 26, 2019. The key is displayed on the front lawn of the College of Business Administration building so it can be admired by BGS members, students, faculty, staff and alumni and by all who visit the College. It serves as a symbol of academic excellence on campus and will help promote Beta Gamma Sigma by continuing to encourage future students and faculty to strive for excellence.
 
College officials would like to thank Mr. Martin Brittain for generously donating the key and Mr. and Mrs. Rey and Dinah Ybarra for the beautiful stone pedestal. Both Mr. Brittain and Mr. Ibarra are MBA alumni and longtime university supporters.
