Appathon

Appathon is the biggest professional development event that occurs yearly at the University of California, Merced. Spearheaded by brothers of the past, Appathon made its return after the pandemic in Spring 2023 under the vision of VP of Professional Development, Arlon Wizzard.

Appathon takes place over 2-3 days and focuses on helping students work on their resumes, LinkedIn, interviewing, networking, and marketing skills through a series of workshops. Afterwards, they can put their newfound skills to the test by applying to multiple jobs, internships, scholarships and more with the help of the brothers of Alpha Kappa Psi!
