 “CMCI has really taught me how to have [personal] conversations in the real world and how to walk into an audition or a job interview and be confident and know how to communicate with people well,” says William W. White outstanding Graduate Rylee Vogel.

The William W. White Outstanding Graduate Award is an honor bestowed to the student graduating with the highest GPA in the College of Media, Communication and Information.
