"ISI also runs the Collegiate Network, a collection of alternative conservative newspapers on college campuses across the country, and the eight student journalists had been selected by ISI to attend the retreat and dinner because their campus newspapers were top-performing publications. After a Journalism 101 session at the Art Ovation Hotel in Sarasota, the students filed into a shuttle for a 90-minute trip to Carlson's home on Gasparilla Island, where Carlson dispensed career advice."
"The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), a highbrow educational organization for conservative students with a long history of intellectual activism, invited students to a dinner with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones this past spring that its president, Johnny Burtka, described as being unforgettable. According to a new report about the organization's transformation under Burtka's leadership from The Dispatch's John McCormack and Michael Warren, ISI invited eight college students to an exclusive retreat and dinner with Tucker Carlson at Carlson's home in southern Florida."
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute invited eight top-performing student journalists from the Collegiate Network to a retreat and dinner at Tucker Carlson's home on Gasparilla Island in southern Florida. The students attended a Journalism 101 session at the Art Ovation Hotel in Sarasota before taking a 90-minute shuttle to Carlson's home, where Carlson offered career advice. ISI President Johnny Burtka posted a photo on Twitter of himself, Carlson, then-Collegiate Network Executive Director Dan McCarthy, and The American Conservative editor Curt Mills, calling the evening unforgettable. Alex Jones attended the dinner but was not included in Burtka's posted photo; Jones appeared on Carlson's podcast the next day.
