Matthew Ambrose inducted into Beta Alpha Psi Honor Society

Reading resident honored by Ithaca College.

Reading's Matthew Ambrose, an Ithaca College student studying accounting, was inducted into the Beta Alpha Psi honor society. Beta Alpha Psi is an international honor society made up of elite accounting, finance and business information students and professionals. Ambrose was also inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society. Lifetime membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student anywhere in the world can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International.

The Mu Alpha chapter of Beta Alpha Psi at Ithaca College invites local Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), Big 4 recruiters and other notable alumni to speak, interact and network with its members. The honor society is also focused on working in the community and within the business school, partnering with the Ithaca YMCA, the Ithaca Youth Bureau and operating the Accounting and Finance Tutor Lab located on the first floor of the business school.

Every year, the Mu Alpha chapter organizes a "Meet the Firms" trip to New York City, where students are able to network with the top firms and alumni that recruit Ithaca College graduates.
