Honors and awards recognitionEach spring, the FSU College of Communication and Information (CCI) hosts the Honors and Awards Program and Reception to celebrate the academic excellence, leadership, and dedication to service of our students and faculty.

For the first time ever, this event was held virtually, via Zoom, where awardees and their friends and families were able to honor their accomplishments from near and far. At its peak, over 230 Zoom users attended the event on April 1, 2021.
