A team of University of Tampa students took third place in a regional Beta Alpha Psi Best Practices Competition, which was held at the 2015 Beta Alpha Psi Southeast Regional meeting in Atlanta on Feb. 27-28.

Beta Alpha Psi is an honorary organization for financial information students and professionals. The six students competed in a section focused on International Impact by discussing what the chapter has done to bring a global perspective to its members.
The UT team, which met periodically over the last few months to prepare, included Maddie Box, Connor Byrne, Brent Caramanica, Brian Gehres, Melanie Humphreys and Patrik Kiljunen. The students were accompanied to the conference by their faculty advisor of seven years, Associate Professor of Accounting Mary Keener.

The primary objective of Beta Alpha Psi is to encourage and give recognition to scholastic and professional excellence in the business information field. This includes promoting the study and practice of accounting, finance and information systems; providing opportunities for self-development, service and association among members and practicing professionals, and encouraging a sense of ethical, social, and public responsibility.
