Members & Candidates
Thank You to everyone who attended our meeting with ConAgra this past week. I think ConAgra did a great job presenting information about their FDP program and about Conagra as a company.

This Week
This weeks meeting is with the IRS and they will be presenting on careers with the IRS. The meeting is in room 320 at 6pm and the dress is business casual.

Announcements
-Please send your resumes in PDF format to Stephanie (svanicek@unomaha.edu) by Friday
the 18th. (That’s this Friday!) This is for the faculty part of the resume review. Each resume
will be reviewed by two different accounting faculty members. Please take advantage of this
opportunity. The accounting faculty are taking time out of their busy days to help you. This is a
great tool that requires little to no work on your part. We still need resumes from a majority of
you.
-Start thinking about whether or not you will be attending the Regional Meeting April 8-9 in
Lincoln. Please remember that you must be able to make both days of the meeting in order
to attend the meeting and receive the points. We will be asking for confirmations from those
who want to attend next week.
-Please sign up to attend the remaining tutoring sessions. You can do so here. There is plenty
of room left, and you can start signing up for up to two sessions now. Please take advantage of
this easy way to get your volunteer hours. Remember that you can count up to four tutoring
hours (two sessions) towards your six community service hour requirement.

Volunteer Opportunities
-VITA training will be held this Saturday (2/19) at the Mammel Hall computer lab at
1:30pm. If you are interested in coming, please e-mail Kurtis at kevon@unomaha.edu.
If you can't attend but still want to become certified to help prepare international student tax
returns, please also contact Kurtis.
-The Project Achieve event will be held this Thursday (2/17) at the Office of Multicultural
Affairs in the Milo Bail Student Center from 3pm-5pm. We will be answering questions UNO
students have in completing their 1040 EZ. If you are still interested in attending this event,
contact Kurtis.
-Remember you need 6 community service hours for the semester. Although you should strive
for more!

As always, if you have any questions contact any of the officers.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday,

Lauren Huenink

This weeks meeting is a social event at the UNO Hockey Game. The game is this Friday, the 4th, at 7:37pm. Make sure you bring your Mav Card so you can get in for free. We will be sitting in section 113 and will try to save seats for everyone. Make sure you find one of the officers to sign in to get your points. Also, if you have not paid your dues yet you will need to pay them at the game, as they were due last week. Lastly, since this is a Beta Alpha Psi sponsored event there is no drinking allowed, even if you are of age.

Announcements

• The ConAgra meeting is in two weeks (February 11th) If you are not planning on attending please e-mail Stephanie (svanicek@unomaha.edu) by Saturday, the 5th, at the latest.
• The resume due dates have been set and are February 18th for the first round and April 1st for the second round. Please send them to Stephanie at svanicek@unomaha.edu in PDF format only.
• The first tutoring session is this coming Sunday, the 6th, in room 122 for Accounting 2020. If you want to tutor you need to sign up here, as there are limited spots. Remember up to 4 hours of tutoring can count toward your community service hours for the semester.

Friend of BAP
This semester we are going to implement Friend of BAP as a way for candidates to be able to get to know other members by giving them a mentor for the semester. Candidates, if you have any questions about BAP you should go to your Friend of BAP listed on the spreadsheet here. For the veteran members who are participating in Friend of BAP we are asking that you contact your Friend via e-mail to introduce yourself and make them feel at home. We would also like you to make an effort to sit with them at the hockey game this week.

As always, if you have any questions contact any of the officers.


We look forward to seeing you on Friday,

Members & Candidates

Thank you to everyone who attended the Semester Kick-Off. The BAP officers were impressed with the number and quality of candidates, and we hope all of you continue taking the required steps to complete initiation. The meeting this Friday will be a presentation on resumes, information about internships, and information about the MAcc program. The meeting will be in room 320 and the dress is business casual. After Friday all members and candidates should have enough information to begin preparing a resume.

Announcements:

If you did not get a copy of our Spring schedule it can be found here. And if you did get a copy last week, don’t forget about the small changes that were made:

• The Hockey game next week (February 4th) puck drop is 7:37pm.
• Members need 100 points, candidates need 110.
• Don’t forget! Your membership dues of $30 are due this Friday (the 28th) and you can give them to Nathan White. If you pay with a check please make it payable to Beta Alpha Psi.
• Please make sure you are on time to all meetings. As outlined in the handbook, if you show 5 minutes or later to any meeting you will not receive points for that meeting. Our meetings are with professional companies and accounting firms and it reflects poorly on you and Beta Alpha Psi to show up late. Many of the people presenting at these meetings are recruiters and are your potential interviewers.

• If anyone is interested in signing up for the CPA letter daily you can do so here (http://www.smartbrief.com/cpa/). The CPA letter daily is offered by the AICPA, and is a free daily digest of the day’s 10-12 top business, finance and accounting articles. Understanding the news’ relevance to your future profession, career or industry puts you at a distinct competitive advantage.

• As always, if you have any questions about membership this semester or

  anything related to BAP please don’t hesitate to contact any of the

  officers.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday,
