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.
Summer '23
I had an absolutely remarkable time at the last alumni event. It was really awesome to reconnect with old friends, and I was just as excited to meet new faces who could eventually be future coworkers. I got to catch up with my mentor for the first time in person, and it certainly is more livelier and fun to be face to face rather than seeing him on a Zoom call. Overall, the atmosphere is energetic and the excitement is contagious because events like these remind us of the amazing community BAP has fostered.

"I love attending alumni events, not for the networking and seeing what professional careers alumni have, but because I'm able to see how Beta Alpha Psi has been able to touch so many people in such specific ways. My favorite stories to hear about are the ones about others candidate semester or how they met their best friends. It makes me really appreciate the community I have around me and how to make the most out of the experiences I have right now. My favorite one so far has been the Spring 2022 one when we were all able to go to the rooftop of the venue and see the amazing view and talk with the alumni even more."

"Both alumni events I've been to have been such great experiences! It's always fun to meet the alumni and hear what their experience in BAP was like, and what they've been doing since being an active. I had the chance to talk to one of my friends who graduated only the semester prior at an alumni event, and it was amazing to hear about their summer and how work is going, and talk to them one more time before they start working full time. It's also always nice to have the chance to catch up with the current BAP actives, who I might otherwise not see over break."

What were your expectations for the mentorship program before it started?
Kaia Hsu
I was expecting to have a small casual conversation with my pen pal during the course of a semester. I thought it was going to be just about school and work.
Lynnette Lu
My expectations for the mentorship program were that I would be exchanging emails, texting, or videocalling my mentee on a monthly basis. I didn't expect too much of a time commitment either.
What were some of the things discussed during the mentorship?
Kaia Hsu
We talked about what she did for her job, which I found really interesting. We also talked about our dogs, and plans that we both had for trips or for school/work related things. She told me about some of her work outings that she had.
Lynnette Lu
We discussed career pathways, classes and exams to take, personal life like hobbies and interests.
Kaia Hsu
What did you learn from the experience?
I learned about her work practice, and it helped me figure out what I wanted to do in the future as well. Her job sounded very interesting, and she was the same major as me. I learned a lot about being full-time and what it entails to be working at a big 4 company.
How have you applied your mentor's advice in your academic/professional career?
Kaia Hsu
She helped me decide what I wanted to do for my future especially what field I should look into. It also helped shape what side of Actuarial Science I wanted to pursue.
Lynnette Lu
Did you have any mentorship while in BAP? If so, what was the experience like?
I did, I had a mentor and informal mentors who helped with career advice and resume reviews. It was very helpful as it got me my full-time job (where I still am right now). It was casual in that all I had to do was message / meet up with upperclassmen in BAP and they gave me their honest advice on job and intern recruiting.
How was your overall experience in BAP?
Lynnette Lu
I really enjoyed my experience in BAP during undergrad and felt that the mentorship I received there helped me greatly after graduation! I wanted to give back to BAP and stay connected to the organization.
One of our tech-focused panels! We're looking forward to more opportunities to connect with industry professionals in the future.
What motivated you to take on a mentee?
