Vice President of Candidates: Jillian Sujka

Get to Know Me: Hello, I’m Jillian, and I grew up in Buffalo, NY. A fun fact about me is that my modeling career both started and ended when I was featured on the box of a Fisher-Price toy as a kid. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending time outdoors—whether it’s taking walks or relaxing with a good book in the sun.

My Beta Alpha Psi Journey: I decided to join Beta Alpha Psi in the spring of my sophomore year after switching my major to accounting, wanting to get more involved in the School of Management and connect with motivated peers. BAP has helped me grow professionally and personally—I’ve improved my public speaking, expanded my network, and built meaningful friendships. A highlight was participating in the Best Practices competition, where my group presented on “Impacting Connections in Your Chapter.” My favorite memory is attending the Midyear conference in Atlanta, where traveling and exploring the city with other members helped me bond and feel even more connected to our chapter.

What I Look Forward To: I am most looking forward to getting to know our incoming candidates and having the opportunity to guide them through their journey in Beta Alpha Psi. I’m excited to help them feel welcomed and supported, answer their questions, and ensure they feel confident and connected throughout the process. Watching them grow and become active members will be incredibly rewarding.

Reporting Secretary: David Liu

Get to Know Me: I’m from Long Island, NY, but I originally moved here from China when I was in fourth grade. I enjoy all genres of music and hope to learn to play different instruments whenever I get the chance.

My Beta Alpha Psi Journey: I decided to join Beta Alpha Psi because I wanted to be more involved in our accounting program and meet more friends within it. I felt that BAP was a more closely knit group, which made me feel welcome and motivated me to get even more involved after joining. I attended nearly all the events and took advantage of as many opportunities as I could. Eventually, I attended Mid-year presenting our chapter operations and later chosen as the Events and Networking Chair. These roles pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and professionally.

I Look Forward To: I’m most looking forward to helping our club achieve Gold status again, as we’ve proudly done year after year.

Communications Secretary: Lina Li

Get To Know Me: Hi guys! My name is Lina, and I’m from Queens, New York. A fun fact about myself is that I have a pet turtle that my brother named Big Back because of its large shell. In my free time, I enjoy watching TV shows. One of my favorites at the moment is “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” be prepared with a box of tissues next to you!

My Beta Alpha Psi Journey: I first joined BAP at the start of junior year as a way to not only step outside of my comfort zone, but also to find a sense of community while navigating my transition from a marketing major to an accounting major. Since joining, I’ve had the opportunity to challenge myself in ways that I never imagined doing so through networking events and volunteer work. These experiences have given me valuable insight about the profession and helped me brush up on some soft skills. But even more than that, it was the lifelong memories and friends I’ve made along that way that makes BAP so meaningful to me. I’m always looking forward to the social events. One of my favorite memories is the pumpkin painting Halloween social, where I got to spend some fun, quality time with the other members.

I Look Forward To: I’m excited to share engaging posts on our social media accounts to ensure members stay informed and connected. I also hope to challenge myself while sharing BAP’s values and to foster an uplifting, safe environment for new students.
