\"BillLEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) announced the recipients of its 2010 annual awards during the annual Presidents Institute Awards Banquet in Marco Island, Florida, in January. CIC\u2019s Awards for Philanthropy were presented to William T. Young, Jr. and Barbara Smith Young, and to The Bernard McDonough Foundation, represented by its president, Robert W. Stephens. \u00a0<\/p>\n

During his introduction, Richard Ekman, president of CIC, said, \u201cThese awards are an important way for CIC presidents to celebrate and honor those who encourage us, who contribute generously to our enterprise and who raise the standards to which we aspire. CIC is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to recognize William and Barbara Smith Young, an extraordinarily generous couple who stand as role models for philanthropists and college trustees everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2010 Award for Individual Philanthropy celebrates an individual (or individuals) who demonstrate the love of humankind through consequential giving and who provides an example of the philanthropic spirit. Nancy Oliver Gray, president of Hollins University, in announcing the award, said \u201cCIC recognizes the Youngs\u2019 exemplary commitments to liberal arts education, in particular to two CIC member institutions, Sweet Briar College and Transylvania University. Barbara Smith Young is a 1971 history graduate of Sweet Briar College whose heart has never left her alma mater\u2019s campus. She serves today as vice chair of Sweet Briar\u2019s board of directors and has contributed personally at the institution\u2019s highest donor levels. Her leadership of Sweet Briar\u2019s most recent fundraising drive resulted in $121 million.\u201d <\/p>\n

Gray continued, \u201cBill Young, a Princeton graduate with an MBA from the University of Virginia, is ardent about programs at Transylvania University, where his father served as chair of the board for 23 years. Bill joined Transylvania\u2019s board of trustees more than a quarter of a century ago, and followed his father as its board chair in 2000. Under his tenure as board chair, Transylvania\u2019s endowment reached an all-time high of $145 million. Bill is president of the parent company of W.T. Young Storage, a commercial warehousing and real estate development firm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
