Why
Choose
AKPsi?
“When I first joined AKPsi, I was hoping to find a community of support and family on campus but I quickly gained so much more. One of my favorite parts of this organization is that everyone is so driven and willing to help each other, whether that be through mentorship, professional workshops, career advice, all of which helped me land my internships and career of my dreams. The vast network AKPsi provides was the reason I even found the role I will now be going to after graduation but also how I gained the skills I needed to succeed in a professional environment. I am so grateful to have found a community of friends who I know I can rely on long after college.”
