RSM Outstanding Faculty Advisor Awards 

Sponsored by RSM US LLP

Deadline: Monday, April 5, 2027 by 11:59 PM EST

Overview

Faculty Advisors often work many additional hours to be present at various Beta Alpha Psi meetings, community service activities, firm receptions, member initiations, and to meet with chapter officers to plan for the months ahead. 

The RSM Outstanding Faculty Advisor award is presented each year at the Beta Alpha Psi annual meeting to faculty advisors who go above and beyond the requirements of a faculty advisor. Not only are the recipients of the RSM Outstanding Faculty Advisor award recognized in front of their chapter and their peers, but they also receive a plaque and a $5,000 award.

Prize/Award

The winning faculty advisor will receive a $5,000 award.

Eligibility

Faculty advisors and co-advisors are eligible for this award.  Co-advisors may be nominated individually, or together as a team.  If they are nominated as a team and selected as the RSM Outstanding Faculty Advisor(s), the financial award will be divided evenly.

A faculty advisor may not win more than once every 10 years unless he/she wins the “Other Outstanding Service” category. Once an award is presented to an applicant from a college/university, there must be a 5-year period before another applicant will be considered from that particular college/university. For example, if Centennial University’s faculty advisor received the RSM Outstanding Faculty Award in 2020, Centennial University is not eligible to apply for this award until the 2025-2026 academic year.

Winners will be acknowledged at the AAA annual meeting and recognized at the Beta Alpha Psi annual meeting.

Nomination Process

Chapters must submit a completed Outstanding Faculty Advisor nomination form and the Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award spreadsheet (to be uploaded through online form).

Award Process

Winners are chosen by the Beta Alpha Psi Chapter Advocates.
