At our first GAAP Snack of the school year, Silke Olsen from Moss Adams came to campus to talk to us about how to 'Dress for Success.' With interviews and networking events right around the corner, this was a great way for us to learn what to wear and what not to wear. We learned the differences between casual, business casual, and business professional, and Silke discussed what attire would be appropriate for various situations. Thank you Silke for a wonderful presentation and for answering all of our questions about how to dress!

The attire for our weekly GAAP Snacks is now business casual, so you will have the opportunity to use some of the lessons you learned from Silke's presentation.

At the 2011 Beta Alpha Psi Annual Conference in Denver, the Delta Eta chapter was one of seven chapters to be recognized with Gold Chatper status.

According to the Beta Alpha Psi national website:

“The Gold chapter status is the highest award level a chapter can receive. Only a limited number of chapters can be awarded the Gold chapter status within one academic year. The award is given to chapters which continually demonstrate and exemplify the highest values of Beta Alpha Psi: leadership, scholastic success, lifelong learning and development, service, and ethical behavior.”

Congratulations to the Delta Eta Chapter!
