Adopt A Road by Beta Alpha Psi was a success last Tuesday morning as 11 members of the club took the road to clean up a portion of UCF.
The group found a social security card and a concealed weapons permit.
“It’s by far the most valuable item we have found thus far,” said Accounting senior and vice president of Chapter activities for Beta Alpha Psi, Samantha Rudolph. “Mainly it’s just a lot of water bottles, cans, and paper.”
Beta Alpha Psi is an Honorary Accounting society and they hold the event five to seven times a semester.
One half of the group goes from Lake Claire to the CFE arena, the other half goes from Lake Claire to Alafaya Trail.
“I think it’s important because we’re in charge of cleaning up these roads. If no one else did it, we’d have a lot of pollution problems,” Rudolph said. “There’s a lot of other groups that do these roads, but still we end up getting huge trash bags, full of trash.”
During the event the students seemed to enjoy being around each other and had a genuine good time cleaning up their campus.
“It feels good to give back and help around the UCF community,” said senior Accounting major Christopher Rolle. “If you are an accounting major, this is definitely a big help to network and get involved with people that have similar aspirations to you and just get around an organization that’s going to put you in the right place to succeed, with bringing in the right people, clubs and things like that to help you find a career.”
Jinhee Lee, a junior accounting major was also very excited about the event.
“I’m a transfer student and this is my first club,” Lee said. “My first semester was all about studying and this is me branching out.”
Beta Alpha Psi’s main goal in doing this event was to give back and keep their campus appearance up to standards.
“We pay a lot of money to go here and we want to make our campus look pretty,” said Rudolph. “We like to give back and part of our organization is service and voluntarism.”
