DOVER, Del. — Delaware Department of Technology and Information (DTI) CIO James Collins recently hosted a celebration to recognize the achievement of Caesar Rodney graduate Anirudh Narayanan, who took first place in the Microsoft Excel 2013 category at the recent Microsoft Office Specialist U.S. National Championship in Orlando, FL. Anirudh will represent the First State and the nation when he competes at the upcoming Microsoft Office World Championship. Joined by special guests including Anirudh’s parents, PN and Sudha Narayanan, along with Caesar Rodney School District’s Superintendent Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald, High School Principal Dr. Sherry Kijowski, teacher Liz Boaman, and 34th District Representative Lyndon Yearick, Collins presented Anirudh with a tribute on behalf of Governor John Carney and Lt.
