Marshall, Minn. — Feb. 20
Schwan's University (SU), the learning and development arm of The Schwan Food Company, is proud to announce that it was presented with eight awards, including the coveted Best Overall, at the ninth annual Corporate University Xchange (CorpU) Awards for Excellence and Innovation in Corporate Learning. SU recently accepted its awards at an event in Atlanta.

In addition to being recognized as the Best Overall Corporate University, SU picked up awards in the categories of leadership development, measurement, corporate/college partnerships, alignment, alliances, learning technologies and marketing.

"I compare it to a movie sweeping all the major Oscar categories," said SU President Randy Abbott. "Being recognized like this, Schwan's University has clearly defined itself as a tremendous asset to Schwan, and it will inspire outside corporations and organizations to look to SU to strengthen their leadership bench, increase business acumen and build management prowess with measurable results."

The CorpU Awards are a partnership between CorpU, Fortune magazine and The Wharton School of Business. The awards are the oldest and most prestigious in the field of corporate learning. Applicants were scored by a panel of independent, expert judges from Duke University, Wharton, Cisco, Pfizer and other notable organizations and corporations.

Established in 2001, Schwan's University offers world-class leadership and performance improvement solutions to thousands of customers inside and outside of Schwan. The staff includes executive coaches, performance consultants, measurement experts, curriculum designers, Web developers, professors and e-learning specialists. SU uses the best of traditional teaching techniques and the latest technologies.
