STARKVILLE, Miss.--Continuing nine consecutive years among the Top 10, Mississippi State's business education honor society now is ranked fifth following recent national student competition.
Members of the university's chapter of Pi Omega Pi recently were in a challenge with counterparts from more than 40 other chapters to design projects promoting scholarship and service in business education--the organization's primary mission.
MSU seniors Marcia M. Marble of West Point, Kimberly J. Harris of Greenville and Roxanne Wright of Houston accepted the award during the organization's 2005 national convention in Anaheim, Calif. All are technology teacher education majors.
Wright also is a newly elected student representative to the Mississippi Business Education Association.
The Pi Omega Pi chapter was chartered at MSU in 1939 and has been advised for the past nine years by Connie M. Forde, professor of instructional systems, leadership and workforce development. Forde also is serving this year as senior college representative for the Mississippi Business Education Association.
