We are proud to highlight the recent accomplishment of a faculty advisor and members of a student club. As Faculty Advisor of the M.A,R.S. (Marketing Analytics and Research Student Club), Dr. Maryam Tofighi recently mentored a group of students to take and successfully obtain their MS Excel Certification. 

We would like to congratulate the following 14 students on this incredible achievement: 

Temitope Adesina
Mario Arguello

Kimberly Borjon 
Ivan Carrillo
Augustus Chong
Christina Covarrubias
Melissa Huynh 
Alicesha Milana
Marycruz Noriega
Erick Corona-Ramirez

Dr. Tofighi understands that for many job recruiters, being proficient in Excel simply is not enough. Candidates need to have an industry-standard certification to validate their resumes and expedite the recruitment process. Enabling the user to be able to use easy spreadsheet functions like graphic tools, calculators, formulas, charts, macro programming language, and other pivotal tools, the MS Excel Certification is the basis of all data entry jobs.

Having Microsoft Excel Certification not only gives students a competitive edge, but it validates their ability to work with MS Excel applications and tools. Furthermore, the Microsoft Excel Certification is globally recognized. Congratulations again to Dr. Tofighi and these M.A.R.S. students on the great feat!
