Sixteen students were initiated into Elon’s chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the international honor organization for financial information students and professionals, on Feb. 7, 2017.
Ifeoma Udeh, assistant professor of accounting, was invited to speak at the annual spring interest meeting following the initiation. She spoke about the benefits of joining Beta Alpha Psi to over 80 students.
Elon’s Lambda Xi chapter has won the Student Government Association “Organization of the Year” Award twice in the past decade and was honored with the Rev. Richard McBride Campus and Greater Community Involvement Award for its commitment to volunteer work.
