On Tuesday, April 10, students, faculty, and organizations from all over Florida State University gathered to celebrate the extraordinary leadership happening campus-wide. The Division of Student Affairs sponsored this wonderful evening which honored individuals as well as organizations for their hard work in demonstrating and executing leadership throughout the FSU community.

The College of Communication and Information is home to many of the students, faculty members, and organizations that were recognized. The following is a summary of the students, faculty members, and organizations that were honored at the Leadership Awards Night that are part of CCI.
