Remarks from our accomplished alumni —

"AKPsi gave me the opportunity to not only meet, but form lasting relationships, with some of the most diverse and intelligent people on campus who I would have never had the opportunity to come in contact with beforehand."

— Ashley Higgins ‘06 (Lehman Brothers)

"Very simply put, I would not be where I am without AKPsi. For me, AKPsi was and is a bond between individuals who want to go on a different life trajectory than the norm. I had drive, but did not have the direction or the peer support to know where to channel the drive in a productive, career-focused way. Being surrounded and mentored by the caliber of people AKPsi attracts allowed me to raise my expectations to achieve goals I would not have previously considered possible. Hands down, it was the best overall experience of my collegiate career socially and professionally. 

Professionally, AKPsi facilitates the sharing of ideas, experiences, and best practices through a natural mentorship program that allows one to grow in all aspects - this dynamic put me and, I'm sure, many others, at a tremendous advantage when it came to navigating the myriad of challenges involved with transitioning from a student to a successful professional. On a personal level, I instantly made deep, life-lasting friendships with individuals I would have otherwise never been close with. I currently live with an AKPsi brother here in NYC, I have travelled the world with brothers in AKPsi, and we now work alongside and do business with each other. When faced with important decisions personally and professionally, I continue to first turn to my AKPsi brothers for advice."

— Brandon Kerns ‘08 (Morgan Stanley)

"There is no other organization that I was involved with at Cornell whose members I am more regularly in touch with, on both a personal and business level, than I am with the bright and motivated individuals from my years in AKPsi. I would not have the job or the professional network I have today without joining AKPsi, hands down."

—Mike Pittore ‘08 (Goldman Sachs)

"AKPsi was the first experience that showed me the value of surrounding yourself with incredible, inspiring people. I would discover things about myself and my interests that had previously been unknown. I am continually surprised at all the doors that have opened because of that experience."

—Jenna Kerner ‘11 (Deloitte)

"AKPsi helped me prepare for and secure my internship junior year, which led to a full time job at Morgan Stanley. But more importantly, I met exceptional people who I still call my closest friends today. AKPsi transcends a simple student-run business organization. It builds meaningful relationships that last a lifetime."
