(NYSE: BNED) became an independent public company and parent of Barnes & Noble College. Becoming a public company allowed BNED to pursue greater growth opportunities in the education sector, including expanding its digital capabilities, creating innovative academic programs such as BNC First Day and the BNC Adoption & Insights Portal (AIP), and adding companies including MBS Textbook Exchange to its family of brands. Today, BNED is a company serving all who work to elevate their lives through education, driving affordability, access and achievement at hundreds of academic institutions nationwide and ensuring millions of students are equipped for success in the classroom and beyond. Affordability, access and achievement are at the heart of all we do. We are the only campus store operator that helps you communicate your value to students, parents, donors and other stakeholders through research studies demonstrating significant impact. Your campus community benefits from the knowledge and support of a large-scale provider, coupled with the care and customization of an on-site partner. Leadership. Equity. Opportunity. Success. Education ─ it’s in our DNA. For more than 50 years, we have led the way in the educational space, starting with one modest store location in New York City in 1965. Today, we’ve expanded to partner with more than 1,400 college, university and K-12 bookstores nationwide. The Foundation of BNED After going public in 2015, Barnes & Noble Education (BNED) pivoted our educational upbringing toward a new generation of services and solutions to help satisfy institutional and student needs – creating innovative academic programs such as First Day® and the Adoption Insights Portal (AIP) as well as fresh retail approaches such as All Things College. BNED’s foundation has enabled our solutions at Barnes & Noble College to continually evolve to the next level.
