“Employers are seeking out students who push themselves to their fullest potential. Typically, these are your student athletes, people juggling full-time work and school, and our BAP members!
By attending chapter meetings, professional development events, social events and volunteering throughout the semester you will show that extra effort, learn more about the field, and build your skills so you can set yourself apart from the competition.”- Adam Zehm ‘24, SAGE: Accountancy
