CVS Caremark was awarded the Bryant University Diamond Award for Industry Excellence in Supply Chain Education during the 6th Annual Northeast Supply Chain Management Summit (SCMS) in Smithfield, R.I.

This award recognizes an organization that demonstrates superior commitment to supply chain education.

“It’s our great pleasure to recognize CVS Caremark, who has demonstrated a long-term dedication to promoting supply chain educational programs, supporting students who seek this field as a career choice, and for offering continuing education to their employees,” said V.K. Unni, the interim dean of the Bryant University College of Business. “CVS Caremark exemplifies the symbiotic relationship that all large businesses who are interested in a quality workforce should have with institutions of higher education.”

“CVS Caremark recruits from Bryant University, they participate in supply chain career fairs, they host tours of the supply chain facilities and offer internships to undergraduates,” said Teresa McCarthy, associate professor of marketing at Bryant University. “Their commitment to supply chain management education is extraordinary and they are deserving of this recognition.”

The Bryant University Diamond Award for Industry Excellence in Supply Chain Education was presented at the SCMS opening reception, attended by dozens of industry professionals.
