As a student services professional in the accounting industry, supporting Beta Alpha Psi students has been a privilege. Their energy and commitment to success energizes me. I am also glad to be able to connect them with the resources offered by my employer, AICPA & CIMA, the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants.
