Medal of Inspiration Award Winners

Beta Alpha Psi students are already “good” students. They have strong GPAs, they contribute to their communities through service, and demonstrate a commitment to professional ideals and ethics. We want to encourage them to go the next level and strive to be “great.” An integral part of this encouragement is for students to hear life stories of other students who have been particularly inspirational. Established in 2008, Beta Alpha Psi and the AICPA Foundation jointly sponsor the Medal of Inspiration to encourage others to reach within and find the “greatness” in themselves.
