advice
Comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t use your peers as a measuring stick for success. Give yourself grace and celebrate yourself. Everyone is on their own unique journey, when you feel lost, don’t fret, you’ll always end up where you’re meant to be.

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.
"Having the chance to help plan and attend the BAP Alumni Event was such a fun and rewarding experience. I got to watch strong relationships form between actives and alumni, connect with members from my class, and enjoy some friendly games of ping pong! As a transfer student, I wasn’t always sure of what career path I wanted to follow, but through events like this, I get the chance to connect with actives from various fields and to gain advice from their perspectives. BAP’s large emphasis on brotherhood allows for these easy interactions and great conversations, especially at the Alumni Events! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to not only take part in this event, but also to help promote and plan it!"

Rishad dharani
Analyst at BMO Capital Markets
Rush Class: Spring 2020
Caleb Amias
Finance and International
Business Senior
Rush Class: Fall 2023
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.
