Project Run With It (PRWI) which originated in 2008, is a unique competition designed to further the community service component of Beta Alpha Psi and provides student members with an opportunity to engage in a real-world consulting project.

Since 2008 Beta Alpha Psi has teamed up with the Moss Adams Foundation, to present Project Run With It in connection with the Beta Alpha Psi Annual Meeting each summer. Whether live and on-site or in a virtual setting, student participants will engage in a memorable and rewarding experience. 

• Non-profit organizations describe real business problems for which they are seeking solutions.
• Selected student participants are placed on teams of four students from across the United States and the Oceania region to respond to the non-profit request for proposal.
• Each student consulting team develops creative solutions to business issues and delivers their solution in a professional presentation.
• Judging panels are made up of representatives from the non-profit, professionals from Moss Adams, and faculty advisors from Beta Alpha Psi chapters.
