Purpose of BAP
The Theta Tau Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) at WSU is an organization designed and run by a group of business students. Its purpose is to provide you, the business student, with information and personal contacts that will assist you in becoming a professional. In order to accomplish this, various activities are planned. These events will enable you to meet other business students and faculty. In addition, you will have the opportunities of meeting professionals from various business fields and prospective employers. Some of the activities outlined include:

Office Tours
Office Tours of various accounting firms, industries, and not-for-profit organizations are taken throughout the year. On these tours, students meet representatives of the entities. They are familiarized with the organization’s objectives and goals, hiring procedures, and work atmosphere.

Professional Meetings
Professionals visit Weber State to talk about issues that are directly related to accounting, finance, IS&T, as well as other topics. Speakers for these meetings come from various financial backgrounds and bring with them "real world" information that is helpful to students.

Professional Activities
Professional activities include the annual "Meet the Firms", "Mock Interviews", and "Professional for a Day." "Meet the Firms" is held during Fall Semester and provides the opportunity for both students and professionals to meet on an informal basis. In this setting, students can explore the various options available in their discipline and see which firm or organization would help them meet their career goals. "Mock Interviews" are held during Spring Semester and are a good way to brush up on interviewing skills. Students meet with actual recruiters and get tips on how to better present themselves in real interviews. "Professional for a Day" provides small groups of students the opportunity to shadow professionals and experience a day in that particular office.

Social Activities
Social activities include the annual BAP Honors Banquet and various semester socials. The Honors Banquet is held Spring Semester. During the Banquet, new members are recognized and a WSU Alumni who has established him/herself as a leader in the business profession is honored. Also honored are scholarship recipients and the newly elected BAP officers. The semester socials are a fun way to get to know faculty, BAP members and pledges, and other business students.
