Washburn University Brenneman School of Business

On Monday, Beta Alpha Psi kicked off the year with its first meeting, featuring a panel of three Washburn graduates who are now serving as chief financial officers.

Students had the opportunity to hear about each panelist’s career journey, gain valuable insight into the accounting and finance industries, and ask questions about leadership, professional growth and preparing for life after graduation.

A special thank you to Amy Klotz of Advisors Excel, Kevin Rake of HME Inc. and James Martin of Fleet Fuels for returning to Washburn and sharing their experiences and advice with our students. We appreciate your continued support of the next generation of business professionals!
