BON DE COMMANDE ENG _ YEARBOOK HORIZONS UNIVERSITY 2012

 

Congratulations Horizons University Class of 2012!

by Allison Draper

This past Sunday, June 24, 2012, Horizons University students gathered with friends, family, and faculty to celebrate their hard earned achievements at this year’s graduation ceremony. Held on the top floor of a Parisian café, the event was the perfect opportunity for the graduates to get to meet and converse with other students and faculty members. Everyone was able to indulge in a wonderful array of food and desserts, as well as some celebratory champagne after the diplomas were awarded.

In addition to the degrees, membership to the prestigious Sigma Beta Delta, an international honor society for business, was given to the outstanding students who qualified to join. HU faculty members Edgard Dayan and Eric Pallier were also honored with membership. Acceptance to Sigma Beta Delta is a great achievement and we are proud to have new members from HU! Before the diplomas were presented, guest speaker Bryan Holden, Executive Director of the European Council for Business Education (accreditation agency that recognizes our business degrees) gave a short speech about the importance of continuing education and reminded us that graduation is not the end, but in fact the beginning of a journey of lifelong learning.

Roberta Grossi then distributed the degrees to the students who happily accepted their recognition. The ceremony was a great way for everyone at Horizons University to connect with one another and celebrate and recognize our recent grads. Congrats!

Here are some pics from the Event… Congratulations to all!!

TOP Honor Society

Martial Arts students and professionals have the exceptional talent to harmoniously fine-tune body and spirit to reach a balanced self-control. They inspire trust while raising curiosity and motivating others to follow their teachings and follow their passions. Horizons University strongly believes that their vision and mission should find its match in the educational world!

This is why, in combination with the launching of the MBA in Martial Arts, Horizons University is also founding a new Honor Society dedicated to the Martial Arts field and the first one of its kind: the Martial Arts Honor Society Tau Omega Pi, also known as the TOP Honor Society.

The three Greek letters TΩΠ (T O P) stand for:

Tau – ΤΑΛΕΝΤΟ (TALENTO)
OMEGA – ΩΘΗΣΗ (OTHISI)
PI – ΠΑΘΟΣ (PATHOS)

Being a pioneer in Martial Arts education at the university level, and currently working on a joint program with a leading university in the US for its sports degree programs, the creation of an honor society seemed to be the necessary next step to reach more universities and create a world-class group of martial art students and practitioners.

The TOP mission includes the following:

• Promoting excellence,
• Acknowledging personal commitment and investment,
• Promoting Martial Arts studies,
• Offering a top-class world network,
• Honoring and awarding individual talents,
• Honoring and awarding successful clubs.

Some of the TOP Honor Society activities include regular community meetings and get-togethers, participating in international conferences, promoting and organizing cultural events on martial arts and setting up of a shared database on martial arts techniques.

Horizons University is seeking to open chapters in American Universities, dojos around the world and create a worldwide community of outstanding martial arts students and professionals.

Breaking News… HU now listed as SBD Chapter!

Exciting News! Horizons University is now listed as a Chapter of the Sigma Beta Delta…

What does membership in Sigma Beta Delta mean?

Membership in Sigma Beta Delta is the highest national recognition a business student can receive at a college or university with a Sigma Beta Delta chapter. To be eligible for membership, a business student must rank in the upper 20 percent of the junior, senior or master’s class and be invited to membership by the faculty officers.

Purposes

The purposes of Sigma Beta Delta are to encourage and recognize scholarship and achievement among students of business, management and administration, and to encourage and promote personal and professional improvement and a life distinguished by honorable service to humankind.
Meaning of Sigma Beta Delta

Sigma is the initial letter of the Greek word for wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge gained over time, analyzed and used with discernment. Wisdom is not merely information, but allows one to acknowledge information, consider its validity and relevance, and then incorporate into one’s own life what is appropriate.

Beta is the initial letter of the Greek word for honor. Honor is a personal quality of the highest value. Honorable persons are held in esteem, considered to be trustworthy, and admired by others because they live a life that is worthy of such recognition. Honorable persons have chosen to live a life that is bound by integrity and ethical decision-making. They respect others and are willing to provide leadership to the benefit of humankind.

Delta is the initial letter of the Greek word for the pursuit of meaningful aspirations. Persons of wisdom and honor must aspire to a course to achieve their objectives, for goals without action are no more fulfilling than action without goals. To aspire toward the fulfillment of one’s goals to serve humankind and develop personally and professionally will lead to a life of meaning and satisfaction.

Sigma Beta Delta was established to honor students who have attained superior records in business programs in schools and colleges with regional accreditation.
