Both donors and recipients were honored at the event. The McAfee School of Business Administration at Union University in Jackson has earned accredi- tation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB International, founded in 1916, is an association of more than 1,350 educational institu- tions, businesses and other organizations in 83 coun- tries and territories. It is the longest serving global accrediting body for busi- ness schools that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctorate degrees in business and accounting. “Achieving the AACSB accreditation places us in the top 5 percent of busi- ness schools in the world,” said Keith Absher, dean of the McAfee School of Business Administration. “It is definitely the ‘gold standard’ of business school accreditations.” Absher said the AACSB accreditation is evidence that Union has achieved excellence in multiple areas, including learning outcomes for students and students’ ability to compete against any business gradu- ate in the country. “We are so thankful for this positive word of affir- mation from the AACSB regarding the full accredi- tation of the business pro- grams at Union University,” Union President David S. Dockery said. “It is a joy for me to congratulate Dean Keith Absher and all who had a role in navigat- ing this lengthy and chal- lenging process. “Truly, this is a signifi- cant accomplishment for faculty, staff and students alike, which will serve the university well in the years ahead.” Achieving accredita- tion is a process of rigor- ous internal review, evalu- ation and adjustment that takes several years to com- plete. During these years, the school develops and implements a plan to meet the AACSB accreditation standards, which require a high quality teaching envi- ronment, a commitment to continuous improvement and curricula responsive to the needs of businesses. Accredited schools must go through a peer review process every five years to maintain accreditation. “It takes a great deal of self-evaluation and deter- mination to earn AACSB accreditation, and I com- mend Union University for its dedication to manage- ment education, as well as its leadership in the com- munity,” said Robert D. Reid, executive vice presi- dent and chief accredita- tion officer of AACSB International. “Through accreditation, Union has not only met specific stan- dards of excellence, but has also made a commitment to ongoing improvement to ensure that the institu- tion will continue to deliver high quality education to its students.” Union U’s business school earns AACSB accreditation Union City High School announced these honor rolls for the final quarter of the 2012-13 school year: First Honor Roll Patricia Ellen Bearden, Grace Ann Calfee, Abram Carroll, Caroline Janelle Chism, John Brantley Clendenin, Alexis Anne Coleman, Steven Hunter Corley, William Christian Cousar, Amelia Heard Critchlow, Edward Parker Dotson, Madalyn Noel Dotson, Tara Marshall Elam, Rachel Elizabeth Fowler, Brett Lee Gore, Maria Guerrero, Kizer Wakefield Harris, Sadie Ann Hollis, Emily Jo Houston, Cruz MacKenzie Kepner, Robert Devin King, Emily Katherine Kizer, Timothy Caleb Long, Davis Perry Odle, Mary Alington Oliver, Drake Thomas Parker, Kelsey Lane Parker, Mary Alexandra Parks, Bayleigh Brooklyn Powers, Garrett David Ransom, Grant Somon Ransom, Victoria Leah Reedy, Cody Allan Robertson, Luke Bransford Searcy, Holly Anne Seng, William Shane Sisco, Mollie Elizabeth Stone and Clayton Alan Treece.
