News Release -- March 20, 2002
FALLS CHURCH, Va., March 20 -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) has won the Department of Defense (DoD) Nunn-Perry Award for its Mentor-Protégé agreement with 3D Research Corporation (3DRC).This marks the third consecutive year CSC has earned the honor. The award recognizes teams that have excelled in technical development, cost efficiencies and increased business opportunities for small, disadvantaged firms.
Terry Glasgow, vice president of CSC’s Army Programs business unit, and Lisa Williams, president of 3DRC, accepted the award from Frank Ramos, director, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, who recognized the team as having best epitomized the objectives of the Mentor-Protégé Program. Ramos presented the award at the Department of Defense Mentor-Protégé Conference, March 18-20, in Arlington, Va.
“We are proud that CSC’s work with 3D Research has been acknowledged as a successful example of mentorship in our industry,” Glasgow said. “We remain committed to helping develop small, disadvantaged businesses as we support our federal customers.”
