  15. Testimonials • I joined Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) because it would provide me with great networking opportunities. Now that I’ve been in BAP, it has helped me meet other students in my major. I also have added many things to my resume because of Beta Alpha Psi. Most importantly, it made me realize that I picked the right major and furthered my interest in accounting! -Danielle Lewis

  16. Testimonials • As President of Beta Alpha Psi, joining this fraternity has certainly proved to be a wise decision. As a pledge, I was introduced to Noble Consulting Services, Inc. and their internship opportunities. As an intern, I was able to travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and recently Tokyo, Japan. I can honestly say that if I had not joined Beta Alpha Psi, I would not have been given these great opportunities. -Rebekah Rosenfield, President

  17. Testimonials • By my Junior year, I knew very little about the accounting profession outside of what was discussed in classes. Because of a demanding double major, I had decided against doing an internship and only wanted to join the most beneficial business related student organization. I needed to network with employers and learn more about the industry. Beta Alpha Psi overwhelmingly filled those needs. Now that I am an MBA student, I stay engaged with BAP because I know that is where I will meet my future employer. -Jack Colwell, Reporting Secretary
