Achievements

Paul Wright (Bookstore) was successfully recertified for the designation of Certified Collegiate Retailer by the National Association of College Stores. Fewer than 10 percent of all eligible candidates receive the credential. To achieve the distinction, candidates must have a minimum level of relevant experience and pass a comprehensive four-hour exam on the core knowledge and management functions of collegiate retailing. To recertify, they must complete at least 60 hours of continuing education and professional development activities in the profession to keep their knowledge current on the industry, trends and successful operations.
