A dozen Martha and Spencer Love School of Business students were honored in a spring induction ceremony.
Elon’s Lambda Xi chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP), the international honor organization for financial information students and professionals, recognized 12 new members at a Feb. 18 induction ceremony.
A guest speaker from PwC addressed the group regarding business ethics in the meeting that followed.
Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA overall and a 3.0 GPA minimum in upper-level accounting and finance classes to be eligible for membership. Additionally, they must meet the requirements for both service and attendance at professional meetings. The chapter requires six hours of service within BAP and two hours of service outside the chapter each semester.
Beta Alpha Psi holds weekly meetings with guest speakers to inform students about their industry or firm. Students expand their professional networks and increase their knowledge about financial information professions by engaging with the speakers and asking questions about potential careers. Past speakers this academic year have included professionals from PwC, KPMG, EY, Lincoln Financial Group, RSM, Credit Suisse, and FactSet.
