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.

As one example of his decades-long support of the 秘密研究所, 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.
