Project Run With It
Our member Sherry Zhou represented Zeta Theta in last year’s “Project Run With It’ at our Annual Meeting in San Antonio. She collaborated with three other students from across the country to present innovative ideas on “University Partnerships for CPA Pipeline and Retention.” This was an exciting opportunity for her to meet new people and come together to present their innovative ideas!
KPMG Platinum Challenge
On the first day of the Annual Conference in San Antonio, our chapter were honored ato receive the 2025 KPMG Platinum Challenge Award. We produced a video that demonstrates how our chapter uses innovation and business skills developed through coursework and extracurriculars, to impact their community in a way that is scalable to other chapters.
Thank you to KPMG and BAP International for this honorable award! We are beyond grateful, and will continue to work harder!
EY Inclusive Leadership Award
We were incredibly excited to receive third place for the EY Leadership Award. Our chapter produced a video highlighting the David Kim Memorial & Inclusion Workshop, created as part of our proposal for the EY Inclusive Leadership Award. The workshop was designed to promote inclusive leadership through hands-on activities, including a Decision Walk, a Building Trust challenge, and a Cultural Trivia game.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to EY and BAP International for this incredible honor. This recognization motivates us to continue to strive a safe and inclusive environment for all of our members.
Fun In San Antonio, Texas
We are incredibly proud of our chapter for demonstrating outstanding teamwork, dedication, and commitment throughout the entire experience. Beyond the conference, our members created lasting memories while exploring the sunny city of San Antonio.
