Congratulations to Discovery Education (DE), who on August 11th was named a 2015 finalist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Corporate Citizenship Awards in the category of Best Corporate Steward – Small and Middle-Market Business.

The annual awards, now in their 16th year, demonstrate the positive impacts that businesses around the world have had on individuals and communities – solving today’s greatest challenges through innovation, expertise, efficiency, capital and collaboration.

Spanning eight categories, other finalists include IBM, Intel, UPS, GE Foundation, Goldman Sachs, Kate Spade & Company, PepsiCo, Hormel Foods, Benjamin Moore & co. and more. You can check out the complete list of finalists here. Winners will be announced on October 6 at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.

 

While this week’s recognition by USCCF is quite recent, DE has long been pushing the boundaries of education since it was first launched in 2004. Bill Goodwyn, CEO and President of Discovery Education, recently spoke with HP Matter about the intersection of technology and education – and how his team has worked to move both the company and the industry forward. After reading through the interview, it’s not too hard to see why Discovery Education has been honored with the highly-regarded – and well-deserved – honor!
