Each 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. The annual event was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic this year, and we are saddened that we were not able to celebrate the great accomplishments of the awardees in person.
CCI created a special webpage to honor award recipients featuring the recipient’s photo and a narrative about their award. A listing of the 72 awardees is below.
