Earlier this month, members of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP), an international honors organization for accounting, finance, and information systems students, converged in St. Louis, MO for the Missouri Valley Regional Best Practices Competition.

Missouri State students placed in all three categories of the  best practices competition:

• 1st Place: Community Outreach – Erin Eckels, Zachary Herbert, and Amanda Wieberg
• 1st Place: Leadership Development – Matthew Barris, Katlyn Braun, and Laura Zhang
• 2nd Place: Strategic Planning  – Andrew Anderson, Ariana Corrales, Brandy Dinwiddie, Bingyi Liu, MengYing Chen, and Angela He

Also attending the competition were Holly Briddle, Dakota Cordel, Nichole Johnson and Derek Walters.

The two 1st place teams will travel to Anaheim, California in August to compete in the National Competition.

To become a member of Beta Alpha Psi, students must attend an AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accredited program, be among the top 35% of their university class or have a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
