Here is the press release announcing the winners and a one-minute video clip of CEE’s award announcement.

Excellent news: my Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship has won a Templeton Freedom Award. The awards are decided and given by the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.
From the AERF press release announcing the 2009 Templeton Freedom Awards:
“Award for Special Achievement by a University-based Center – The Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship at Rockford College in Illinois is awarded the University-based prize for launching six courses focusing on the ethical infrastructure of entrepreneurship and the preconditions of the free society in ethics.”
We are very proud of what we have accomplished in less than three years, and we are very happy to get the recognition and the $10,000 prize.
