May

Medal of Inspiration Award (Details coming soon!)
Beta Alpha Psi students are already “good” students. They have strong GPAs, they contribute to their communities through service, and demonstrate a commitment to professional ideals and ethics. We want to encourage them to go the next level and strive to be “great.” An integral part of this encouragement is for students to hear life stories of other students who have been particularly inspirational. 

Project Run With It, sponsored by Moss Adams
Project Run With It (PRWI) which originated in 2008, is a unique competition designed to further the community service component of Beta Alpha Psi and provides student members with an opportunity to engage in a real-world consulting project. 

Platinum Challenge Competition, sponsored by the KPMG Foundation
Beta Alpha Psi recognizes that many chapters often go above and beyond what is required to become a top performing chapter. In an effort to reward these chapters, the KPMG Foundation sponsors the KPMG Gold Challenge Competition which has been renamed in 2023-2024 to the Platinum Challenge. The competition lets students put their multimedia skills to use by creating a 5-minute video that explains and/or demonstrates why their chapter deserves the award or why a top student would want to become part of the Beta Alpha Psi organization

VITA, sponsored by IRS
