Microsoft in the Workplace was the title of the seminar held last August 1, 2009 at the Engineering Conference hall. The title is very appropriate as the occasion was all about Microsoft’s productivity tools for an office environment. The objectives were in line with the university’s commitment to the search of truth and knowledge for the reason that the speaker, Mr. Erico Dan T.

The title made itself clear and explanation is not necessary that our invited speaker, Mr. Erico Dan T. Ocampo, would be discussing all about Microsoft products.

A close door policy was implemented after the strike of nine so that nobody would be walking inside and out the venue. There were almost a hundred forty students who participated and that was surprising for a seminar sponsored by students like us. We were the first, I think, to hold such this semester as a requirement for our subject SEM1. Everybody was eager to get their points completed and that is what I think, the reason everybody is in attendance. Students from all over the ICS department where there and all in their 3rd year well behaved in their seats. As the speaker prepares for his discussion Read the rest of this entry…
