Colin O'Toole // PwC - Transaction Services Associate

BAΨ Information 
Graduation Year: BS from Purdue University in 2013, MSA from University of Notre Dame in 2015
Positions Held: Vice President, Community Service Chair, Social Event Chair

"Looking back, joining Beta Alpha Psi was one of, if not the, most rewarding experience of my collegiate career. Not only did BAP turn me onto the rewarding opportunities that exist in the realm of public accounting which I certainly would've otherwise overlooked, but BAP provided me with the opportunities to foster my leadership skills and help me grow as a young professional. Had it not been for the various leadership opportunities, community service initiatives and networking opportunities afforded by Beta Alpha Psi, I honestly don't believe I would be where I am today.
    Above all else the greatest gift I've received from my involvement in Beta Alpha Psi has been the lifelong friends I've made throughout the years as part of the Zeta Alpha Chapter. Twenty, thirty, and forty or more years from now, I will look back on these relationships, experiences, and memories as the most cherished of my collegiate career, and I anticipate they will be a part of my professional career either as coworkers, mentors or companions."

"I would encourage anyone in Krannert to attend the BAP Fall Banquet. It's a great opportunity to meet with the recruiters who may also be your interviewers. I sat at the table with one of Caterpillar's Business Managers, and I believe this helped me to get the job I currently have. BAP is also a resume-builder, especially if you actively participate in volunteer events such as Junior Achievement."

"I really enjoyed my time in BAP. I met a lot of excellent accounting major students. The BAP activities brought me some good experience, like dinners, company presentations and so on, especially the BAP regional meeting, which left me a deep impression. Hope more Krannert students join BAP as a new family."
