What does it really mean to be a member of the CCI Giving Society?

Making an annual gift at one of the giving society levels allows you to play an important role in the financial health of the College of Communication & Information and make a powerful statement about how much you value a Florida State University education. The CCI Giving Society encourages alumni, parents, and friends to support the college at higher levels of annual giving.
