  • How CISCO has made a positive impact in their life: Learning Cisco technology has made a big impact on my career.

  • How CISCO has made a positive impact in their life: Knowledge of Cisco is a very powerful tool in today's IT Industry. Pursuing Cisco training or certifications will help you further understand how the world is hooked up together, Even if you do not go in the computer networking field.
  • Why Vincennes University chose to spotlight this Student:  "Spencer is always ready to learn, as he always engages in classroom activities.  I am impressed that Spencer is studying for the CISCO Security certification on his own, and not part of a class.  He is dedicated to completing his four year degree in Information Technology here at VU, and already has an internship working in network administration that could lead to a full time opportunity after he graduates.  He will no doubt he a spotlight alumni of VU" - Jaci Lederman, IT Department Chair.
