Last week, The University of Tampa’s chapter of Beta Alpha Psi traveled to California to compete in the National Beta Alpha Psi Conference. Returning home with four awards, including First Place in Deloitte Best Practices: Chapter Sustainability, an award they have held for two consecutive years, the chapter is thrilled with the results from eight months of preparation.
More from the BAP Press Release:
This is the second year the UT chapter has won Chapter Sustainability, and this year the chapter quadrupled its success by winning the four awards listed below making the UT Chapter the most decorated Beta Alpha Psi chapter in the world for 2010:
1st Place – Deloitte Best Practices: Chapter Sustainability
2nd Place – Deloitte Best PracticesL Service Learning
1 of 15 Chapters – KPMG GOLD Chapter Award
1 of 10 Chapters – Ernst & Young Diversity Award
The chapter has been able to become one of the most successful Beta Alpha Psi chapters in the world because of their focus on developing talent. The UT chapter is dedicated to furthering the professional and personal skills of their members through diversity training and leadership retreats and activities. One of the current faculty advisors for Pace University Susanne O’Callaghan said, “The big firms are crazy not to recruit at the University of Tampa, you [The UT Chapter] have set the standard for the nation.”
The former President of the Chapter, Andrew Argue, says, “The only thing we have is our people. We care about them, and we truly want to see them succeed. We work hard to ensure the development of their talents, and these wins are a testament to our hard work.”
