Your time in school is an opportunity to invest in yourself and your future by gaining technical and soft skills that you will use in your career. It is also a time where you have the opportunity to invest in a legacy that benefits others in your chapter, your school and your community. Beta Alpha Psi presents an excellent vehicle to prepare its members as well as serve the greater community.
Key points for all:
Beta Alpha Psi is an opportunity for you to gain work-ready skills that you do not acquire in the classroom. What programming has your chapter adopted that helps you gain these skills? Has your chapter made an effort to offer presentations and activities that go beyond obtaining an internship or job? Does your chapter have a program that adds to the value proposition for members beyond one year of membership?
As Beta Alpha Psi widens its involvement to all financial information professionals, what activities or programs has your chapter undertaken to meet this opportunity? How has it affected your chapter and its members? What barriers did you experience and how did you overcome them? Did the accounting majors benefit from the broader range of activities?
What service activities has your chapter undertaken to benefit your school or greater community? What makes them a signature activity for your chapter? What impact does the activity have on the greater community? How does it benefit your members as well as the greater community?
