(Warren, OH) – Today, Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-17) congratulated Youngstown State University’s Williamson School of Business for producing yet another award-winning team for the Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) Best Practices competition.  For the second time in three years, YSU has placed first in the BAP competition.  Winning team members included Tarik Awad of Canfield, Ryan Garman of Sandusky, and Matthew Pollock of Lowellville.

“I would like to congratulate the Youngstown State University Beta Alpha Psi team on their continued achievement in the regional BAP Best Practices competition, and wish them luck as they compete for the national title,” stated Congressman Ryan. “These young people represent the best of what our community has to offer – intelligence, drive, and responsibility – characteristics that will continue to push our Valley forward as a competitor in the global economy.”

Beta Alpha Psi is an honorary organization for students majoring in accounting, finance, and information systems. BAP provides opportunities for self-development, service and association among members and practicing professionals, and encourages a sense of ethical, social, and public responsibility.
