Installation of Victoria Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi
Formal installation of the Victoria Wellington chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) into the international organisation took place during a ceremony during April.
Pearl Rozenberg explained that Beta Alpha Psi is both an honour and professional organisation. “Membership in Beta Alpha Psi recognises academic excellence, and complements members’ formal education by providing interaction among students, faculty, and professionals.”
The Victoria Wellington Chapter has become the 308th BAP chapter internationally, and Ms Rozenberg congratulated those students present.
“We are installing this Chapter today because each of you has achieved a personal record of superior scholarship in your academic endeavours, and has demonstrated active participation in the programme of your petitioning chapter.”
BAP President Kevin Stocks presented the Charter, Banner, and Gavel to the local President of Beta Alpha Psi, James Van Dissen.
Mr Stocks encouraged the students, both past and present, to continue to strive for excellence academically and in their personal lives.
“If you practice the attributes of scholarship, responsibility, and tolerance, you will exemplify the ideals for which Beta Alpha Psi stands, and which are fundamental for the well-being of society."
