- ALPFA
- is the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting.
This is the largest Latino association for business professionals and
students with chapters nationwide and has over 15,000 members. While
ALPFA is dedicated to enhancing opportunities for Latinos in the
accounting and finance profession, and building leadership and career
skill, it is open to anyone. Katherine Rodriguez (CMC class of 2014)
is re-starting the Claremont Colleges Chapter. As President and
Founder, she plans to make ALPFA a well-known name on campus.
“I believe that ALPFA can play a major role in the
students’ leadership and future career development. We bring
business leaders as guest speakers every month.”
ALPFA has hosted guest speakers including Jose Campos, a Partner at
Deloitte and a CMC Alumnus who spoke about Interviewing Skills, Bryan
Banta, a Senior Manager at KPMG who is also a CMC Alumnus who spoke
about Networking Skills, and INROADS, an organization that strives to
develop and place talented undeserved students in business and
industry, and prepare them for corporate and community leadership.
Lizett Arredondo (CMC class of 2014) is a member of ALPFA and said the
events have been, “useful for planning ahead for my own future
career.”
All students are welcomed and encouraged to join. For any questions
regarding ALPFA, please contact Katherine Rodriguez at
