About Us
Our Mission
ABA’s mission as a business organization is to develop well-rounded business leaders who put our skills to work and never compromise our humility, integrity, or passion for each other and the work that we do. As such, we provide our members with opportunities to gain hands on professional experience through various industry-focused projects.
Our Values
#ABALOVE
CARE FOR EACH OTHER
College is stressful. Classes are difficult. Life is hard enough; let’s support each other, love each other, and respect each other. We’re all in this together after all.
#GAIN&GIVE
LEARN AND GIVE BACK
We believe in the importance of learning useful skills, building our knowledge, and then teaching the next generation. ABA fosters appreciation for each other and utilizing the mentorship we receive to give back. We give what we have gained— with our time and expertise.
#INIT2GETHER
SUCCESS THROUGH COLLABORATION
Everyone has the chance to work together and lead. Being a leader may feel unnatural at first, but we expect everyone to step up and take ownership of the project alongside their team members.
#BE
BE HUMBLE,
BE AMBITIOUS,
BE TENACIOUS
Everyone has something to learn and something to teach. This mindset shapes our ABA culture; we are all one team, focused on the “we” rather than the “I". We think big and always ask “What’s next?”. We’re tenacious in chasing our goals and hold ourselves to high standards.
#JSE
JUST SERIOUS ENOUGH
Our aim is to be professional, but not buttoned-up. Although we’re serious about accomplishing our goals and producing high quality work, we remember that we’re also college students. If we’re not having fun, something’s wrong.
