Advances in technology have made it possible to store ever-increasing amounts of data. Along with this, the need to analyze that data and gain actionable insight is greater than ever. Most users have experienced working with Excel and creating basic PivotTables to summarize data. Excel is capable of doing much more. Students will not only be able to summarize data, but also organize the data in a way that can be meaningfully presented to others. With PowerPivot, students will learn to organize, manipulate, and report on data in the best way possible.

Join us for a pre-bid workshop for the third round of RFPs. This will be held in the MARC Board Room and virtually on Zoom. Once you register, the virtual meeting information will be emailed to you.

The Heartland Flyer currently provides daily service between Fort Worth, Texas, and Oklahoma City. Link for more info and to the virtual meeting is here https://www.ksdot.gov/passrail/default.asp
