Members & Initiates

The semester is coming to a close, and we hope everyone enjoyed themselves. The Initiation Banquet will be held Friday, May 2^nd. All meal choices should be given to Carley immediately (chicken or beef). Dress will be business professional, so everyone put on your best suit. If you haven’t paid for your seat, do so immediately. Checks should be given to Leslie.

Next Semester

A significant number of officers and members will not be in the organization next year. It is the responsibility of the new initiates, members, and officers to maintain the quality of the organization. This entails professionalism, academic performance, and the social skills to attract the brightest of the next class. With next semester’s officers, we don’t see that being a problem.

Surviving Finals

One week until finals; make sure to study hard. As accountants going into the workplace, we are expected to actually know the stuff we are being taught.

Two short weeks until finals; we hope everyone is vehemently preparing for the big day. Beta Alpha Psi is hosting an ethics discussion this Friday night. Dr. Lewis will be guiding a discussion in the MBSC, and it should be an interesting event. Reliance on accounting information is becoming increasingly important; especially with the global dependence on efficient capital markets. As accountants, we must keep in mind our underlying ethical obligations to the public. One key to doing that is to understand what those obligations are. Come to the discussion on Friday to consider these issues.

The final tutoring session is Sunday, April 27^th. It will be held in Roskens Hall Room 201. If you don’t have your community service obligations complete, then attendance is strongly recommended. Remember that you must complete at least one hour of tutoring!

Banquet

The banquet will be Friday, May 2^nd. Make sure to RSVP with your meal choice and guest (if applicable). RSVP’s should be sent to Carley, cdhunzeker@mail.unomaha.edu. All initiates are required to attend. The cost is $25, and checks should be given to Leslie before the banquet.

Announcements

• If you participated in the Resume Review, then please write a thank you note to those that looked at your resume.
• KPMG Recruiting is this Thursday at the Fox & the Hound. If you have questions, contact Carley.
• Time is running out for community service. Don’t forget.

Elections will be held on Friday, April 11^th, in the Milo Bail Student Center. The dress code is casual. We hope everyone attends, because we are choosing next semester’s leadership.
