Mobile鈥檚 Abraham A. Mitchell, owner of the Mitchell Brothers company, has been named as a Beta Gamma Sigma 2018 Business Achievement Award winner at the AACSB International Conference and Annual Meeting.
鈥淣ominated by the 小蝌蚪APP鈥檚 Beta Gamma Sigma chapter, he received this award due to his leadership excellence and service to the community,鈥 said Dr. Bob G. Wood, dean of USA鈥檚 Mitchell College of Business.
The Beta Gamma Sigma Business Achievement Award is presented by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business to honor individuals for significant achievement in business through the traditional corporate route. These achievements may be demonstrated over a career or by a single achievement that has advanced the field of business and contributed to a community and to mankind.
As one example of his decades-long support of the 小蝌蚪APP, Mitchell announced at the University鈥檚 50th anniversary celebration in 2013 the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative, a $25 million matching challenge to honor the late President Emeritus V. Gordon Moulton. The MMSI has expanded opportunities for current and future USA students by providing them access to an affordable college education while building the University鈥檚 base of scholarship support and propelling USA to a nationally competitive level.
