Beta Alpha Psi is an international honor organization for financial
information students and professionals.
Under the leadership of both University professors Drs. Amanda Grossman
and Wayne Tervo, the Epsilon Nu Chapter has exceeded the baseline
requirements of Beta Alpha Psi and has excelled in the areas of
academics, professionalism, and leadership.
The chapter has also received an award of $500, sponsored by KPMG and
the KPMG Foundation.
“We are very proud of our accounting students and the leadership of
the chair and the faculty,” said Murray State Interim Provost and Vice
President for Academic Affairs Dr. Tim Todd. “We are particularly
grateful for the leadership of Dr. Grossman and Dr. Tervo.”
Chapter president Rachel Huck, a senior from Owensboro, Kentucky, said
the chapter earned the Superior Chapter designation by exceeding the
minimum chapter requirements through completing various reports, holding
an initiation and offering a certain number of outreach, professional
and service activities. At professional meetings, members engage with
accounting professionals and learn about important topics in the
industry.
The chapter’s service activities include tutoring for underclassmen as
well as the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which allows
members to become IRS-certified and prepare students’ and community
members’ taxes for free.
The chapter averages at least 32 hours of activities for each member.
“It is an honor to be a part of such an outstanding international
organization as Beta Alpha Psi,” Huck said. “Epsilon Nu wonderfully
embodies BAP’s ideals and has clearly established a tradition of
excellence and high standards.”
