NABA and ALPFA Chapters Come to VSB

On March 30, 2019, the Villanova University Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) was chartered in New York City at the NABA Q3 Board Meeting. VSB was represented by chapter president Chidinma Chioke ’21 VSB and secretary Mia Bryant ’22 VSB. This comes not long after a chapter of the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA) was brought to campus by chapter president Jaivian Gaetan ’21 VSB.

When Chidinma was asked how NABA and ALPFA will be valuable to VSB, she said,

“At times I doubted my ability to succeed in VSB as a Finance and Business Analytics co-major because I’d go to my classes and very often I’d be the ‘only.’ But having met with the professionals and students from NABA I have seen successful people in corporate America that look like me, talk like me and have the same hair as me.”
