Great River Energy honored for support of Bismarck State College
Great River Energy received the Region VIII Benefactor Award for its support of Bismarck State College (BSC) at an awards banquet held in Washington, D.C.
The Community College Benefactor Award is given by the Council for Resource Development and is the only national recognition of philanthropists that support two-year higher education institutions. Gordon Binek, executive director of the BSC Foundation, said Great River Energy’s role as an industry partner to BSC is exemplary.
“They understand the importance of addressing current issues, trends and best practices in technical education,” said Binek. “Their donations of equipment, job shadowing programs, post-secondary training and advisory committee involvement have made a dramatic impact on the quality of education here at BSC.”
Great River Energy has provided cash donations, equipment contributions and countless hours of employee volunteer time over the years.
This national award is given annually to donors from 10 regions throughout the United States and Canada that make outstanding contributions to community college efforts through scholarships, professional development programs, equipment acquisition and workforce development programs.
