Hi, my name is Angela Lin, and I’m from New York City, NY. I’m currently a senior majoring in Accounting. A fun fact about me is that I majored in Visual Art in high school, and I still draw once in a while.

I joined Beta Alpha Psi because of its welcoming community. When I was exploring clubs during my junior year, I got to know the E-board from the previous year. They made me feel so welcomed and guided me through many aspects of accounting. You really feel included in all the events, from our general body meetings to our social gatherings. I’ve made a lot of friends and gained valuable experiences.

What I hope to gain from my position as a committee chair is the opportunity to grow professionally and to serve as a resource for students who are interested in accounting and the professional world. College can be intimidating for many, and through my role, I hope to help students feel seen, supported, and welcomed.

Hi, my name is Benjamin Finch and, I’m from Red Hook, NY. I am a senior majoring in Finance, attending UB’s 4+1 program. A fun fact about me is I love playing pickle ball.

I joined Beta Alpha Psi, to connect with more people after switch majors in my sophomore year. My roommate was already a member and it seemed like a natural step to connect and grow. Long story short, it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my college career. Making new friends, going to new places and learning more than what’s included in a classroom setting.

I hope to make new connections within Beta, and help new members feel welcome. And give them guidance along the way. PS. BETA IS AWESOME you should totally join!!
