Alumni Event
Beta Alpha Psi hosts a bi-annual alumni event in the fall and summer where current alumni can reconnect with familiar faces and meet our active members to foster a stronger community.

"I love attending alumni events because I always come back with a new memory. It’s inspiring to see how BAP’s strong network brings together such a diverse body of actives and alumni. As a rising senior, I was uncertain about my future career endeavors; however, at the last alumni event, I had the opportunity to talk to a recent grad who gave me advice on recruiting for full-time jobs, which bolstered my confidence. The lively presence of both actives and alumni highlights the strong sense of community that makes BAP so special."

"Coordinating the BAP Alumni Event was such a rewarding experience. I loved seeing current members connect with alumni and hearing the valuable advice they shared about navigating different career paths. Personally, I gained so much insight into how to make the most of my time in BAP and prepare for future opportunities. It was also inspiring to hear alumni reflect on how BAP shaped their professional journeys. I’m grateful to have played a role in bringing everyone together and fostering connections that will continue to benefit our members."

"It’s always fun getting to meet alumni who are established in their careers and to reconnect with recent grads. I really enjoy seeing familiar faces from past events and catching up with them. This last event was extra exciting since it was sponsored by 82 Kimbap! I didn’t realize the founders were alumni, and it was so cool to see a brand I already follow on social media and also see how alumni are making their mark in different industries."

What were your expectations for the mentorship program before it started?
Caleb Amias
I wanted to connect with someone who could help me better understand investment banking and how to prepare during college. This program stood out because I’d be learning from someone who had recently gone through the same process. I felt their perspective would provide honest, relevant insights into finance and help me shape my approach to recruiting and building a successful career path.
Rishad Dharani
I came into the program wanting to help my mentee is whichever way worked best, whether that be having informal chats, sending resources, providing feedback or anything in between. I was happy to take it in any direction as long as it was helpful and additive for the mentee.
What were some of the things discussed during the mentorship?
Caleb Amias
In our first meeting, we discussed Rishad’s early exposure to investment banking and what initially drew him to the field. Beyond that meeting, we continued to stay in touch. He gave me valuable insights into recruitment, helped tailor my resume, and guided me through mock interviews, which ultimately boosted my confidence and better prepared me for the internship application process.
Rishad Dharani
I’ve had a few different mentees and each experience has been unique. We’ve discussed everything from how to prepare for technical interviews and recruiting strategies to how to make the most of college and build connections. I think the more you put into the mentorship program, the more you get out of it and my mentees have definitely taken advantage of that.

What did you learn from the experience?
How have you applied your mentor's advice in your academic/professional career?
Caleb Amias
The most valuable lesson I learned was that consistency and daily effort make ambitious goals feel far more achievable. While the banking recruitment process seemed overwhelming at first, Rishad’s advice helped me take it one step at a time. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining strong relationships, which made the process not only manageable but also more meaningful and rewarding in the long run.
Rishad Dharani
Did you have any mentorship while in BAP? If so, what was the experience like?
Work ethic was a theme that came up frequently in our conversations and became something I applied both academically and in my extracurriculars like BAP. Professionally, Rishad helped me realize that my interests are best suited to middle market investment banking, where I can gain broad deal experience while taking on greater client responsibility early on—something that really motivates me.
Yes, my mentor was an incredibly valuable resource that I leaned on especially during my recruitment process, which was a stressful time. It was great to have someone who has gone through what I was just beginning and could provide advice and guidance that I couldn’t have found in the classroom or online.
How was your overall experience in BAP?
Rishad Dharani
I truly enjoyed my experience in BAP and made lifelong friends and memories that I’m very grateful for. BAP doesn’t just develop you professionally but allows you to grow personally and find a community within such a large university. I look forward to staying connected with the organization and helping out where I can.
