Student Feature: Elias Marcet, Miami Dade College

As a part of the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC) featured blog and videos, we would like to introduce IT students attending our Convergence College Network (CCN) schools. The CCN is a select cohort of community colleges and universities from across the country that connects IT educators with a wealth of resources to enhance their programs. In this month’s IT Student Feature, we’re interviewing Elias Marcet, a student from Miami Dade College (MDC) in Miami, Florida. Elias is the mentee of Dr. Diego Tibaquira, professor of Computer Science at MDC.  According to Dr. Tibaquira, Elias came to his Security+ class in Spring 2019 with a vague idea of what he wanted to do. Dr. Tibaquira begin mentoring him and as a result, Elias has obtained a number of industry certifications and has enrolled in MDC’s newly launched Bachelor program in Cybersecurity.
