The King’s College is pleased to congratulate Carly Hoilman ’15 on receipt of the Richard and Helen DeVos Freedom Center Leadership Award, presented by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

The DeVos Award is presented by ISI to undergraduates who have inspired members of their campus communities. Hoilman received the award at the annual ISI gala, held on October 23, 2014 at the University Club of New York. The award is presented in honor of longtime ISI friend Rich DeVos, co-founder of Amway and owner of the Orlando Magic NBA franchise. DeVos’s philanthropy has underwritten the membership and recruiting efforts of ISI through the DeVos Freedom Center. Richard and Helen DeVos are also members of The King’s College’s board of trustees.

Hoilman, a Politics, Philosophy, and Economics major, has been a vital leader of student life during her time as an undergraduate. “Carly took on leadership of the online school newspaper, The Empire State Tribune (EST), early in her college career and has expanded its operations,” said Paul Glader, associate professor of journalism and director of the Phillips Journalism Institute at King’s.

“She was instrumental in launching a regular YouTube broadcast related to the EST called The Weekly Bull,” Glader continued. “She’s also spear-headed efforts to publish a bi-annual magazine from the EST. She’s taken on summer reporting internships. These are exactly the kinds of journalism moves we are proud to see our students making.”

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute, founded by journalist Frank Chodorov, William F. Buckley, and other early conservative and libertarian intellectuals in 1953, seeks to revive the American ideals of individual freedom and personal responsibility by developing principled leaders in all corners of  American society, including higher education, public service, the media, and business and finance.
