Business Faculty Receive TERP10 Certifications
Five faculty members from Delaware State University’s College of Business have earned TERP10 certification, strengthening DSU’s position as an educational resource leader in SAP SE advanced enterprise application software processes.
The newly certified College of Business faculty members are: Dr. Chittibabu Govindarajulu, associate professor of business; Dr. DaeRyong Kim, professor of business and interim director of the MBA Program; Dr. Lynda Murray-Jackson, associate dean of research and analytics; Dr. Raveen Pinjani, associate professor of business; and Dr. Bernadette Ruf, professor of business and chair of the Department of Accounting and Finance.
The College of Business faculty members were certified after completing a two-week TERP10 course covering the basic structures, organizational elements, master data and NetWeaver technology infrastructure that are connected with the SAP ERP environment.
DSU has entered into a partnership with SAP SE and the Americas’ SAP Users Group to establish DSU as a Center of Excellence where the SAP advanced technologies systems and processes can be taught to students and other HBCUs.
SAP SE is a market leader in enterprise application software. Its technologies enable its users – more than 291,000 worldwide – to work together more efficiently and use business insights more effectively.
Ms. Donna Covington, dean of the College of Business, said that TERP 10 is an important industry certification that shows a level of expertise with SAP ERP systems.
“The certification of these five faculty members positions our students to also study for the test at Delaware State for this certification,” Ms. Covington said. “The certification allows our students to be extremely competitive in the marketplace.”
The dean added that this certification achievement is in alignment with the University's strategic plan for student success. “What the faculty has done is position our students, the College of Business and the University for the continued progress toward preparing our students to compete in a global market,” she said.
