51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏ

On April 26th, more than 250 members of the 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏBeedie community gathered to celebrate the milestones and achievements of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students, student organizations, and faculty and alumni who amplify the cocurricular student experience at the Business Administration Student Society (BASS) Celebration Gala. 

The gala showcased how participation in student organizations, events, volunteer work, service, collaboration, and peer leadership promotes personal development, strengthens community, and enhances the student experience beyond the classroom.
