Hoyle graduated in 1990 with Bachelor of Arts degree in Organizational Communication. He was a member of the 1987 UNCG Men’s soccer team that won the Division III National Championship and he subsequently established the George Hoyle Annual Scholarship awarded to a men’s soccer player at UNCG. He serves as the chairman of the UNCG Spartan club.
Hoyle serves on the Board of Directors for the NC Chapter of Operation Smile. He and his wife are members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society of Greater Greensboro. He also coaches a YMCA basketball team as well as participating in adult soccer leagues on a statewide basis.
The Young Alumni Award recognized exceptional achievement and significant contributions to the recipient’s profession, community, society or to UNCG, either through traditional channels or innovative approaches.
