Admissions officer inducted for business skills in honor society

Aaron Bailey, assistant director in Clayton State’s Office of Admissions, was recently inducted into the national honor society Beta Gamma Sigma for his outstanding scholastic record in Georgia Southern’s graduate business program. Bailey, who graduated in the top 20 percent of the university’s business school, received his Master’s of Business Administration this month.

“I want to start utilizing my education as soon as possible,” says Bailey, who attended Georgia Southern through the Web MBA program. “My primary area of interest is business analysis and being inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma denotes excellence within my field.”

In fall 2003, Bailey was inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa, a national leadership honor society. Both the Beta Gamma Sigma and Omicron Delta Kappa inductions are special to Bailey. “I was pleased to know that my hard work through the two year program was recognized.”

What’s next for this graduate? “I am certainly not done with my educational career,” says Bailey, who discovered his love for learning while pursuing his MBA. He plans to take some time to enjoy life without school, but will return within the next five to 10 years to pursue either a Ph.D. or J.D. in law.

In addition to his MBA, Bailey holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Louisiana University (1999). His hobbies include driving the Jeep Wrangler he purchased as a graduation gift, coaching soccer with Griffin’s Excel Program, and reading.
