Workshops
|
One of the main focuses of ALPFA’s development plan is to provide its members with an active learning environment. We believe that hands-on trial and error is the most effective way to refine one’s professional acumen. Therefore, we design workshops to allow our members to practice a wide array of technical and professional skills such as:
|
Socials
|
We offer opportunities for members to get to know each other through social events such as hiking, bonfires, restaurant fundraising, soccer tournaments, and many more.
|
Networking
|
The ALPFA National Convention and the West Regional Symposium are the major networking events that ALPFA members from all student chapters can attend. Both events consist of keynote speakers, workshops and networking sessions.
Our CSU Long Beach Chapter had the privilege of hosting the 2016 West Regional Symposium in January 2016. Many firms attended to recruit students for internships and job opportunities. Attendees included: Intuit, Goldman Sachs, EY, Central Intelligence Agency, and KPMG. |
