Hello John,

This fall, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) will host the Collegiate Network Editors Conference on November 7–9 at our Wilmington, DE campus. This invitation-only event brings together student editors and seasoned journalists for hands-on training in newsroom leadership, reporting, design, and media ethics.

While this conference is invitation-only, submitting nominations for the Collegiate Network Campus Journalism Awards is open to everyone, from students, alumni, faculty, and members of the public. These awards honor the very best of collegiate journalism, specifically spotlighting individual stories and student publications as a whole. Read more about the award categories here.

You can find some of our full-length student journalism pieces to consider on ISI's Substack here under the “Student Journalism” tab.

Visit the event page to learn more about the conference and submit a nomination. Your nomination helps spotlight the next generation of truth-telling reporters and editors. Submissions are due by September 12, 2025.
 

Join us in celebrating the ambitious work of our student journalists as they promote intellectual freedom, editorial excellence, and free speech on campus.

Best,
Johnny Burtka
President and CEO
