Thursday night was the 2013 Mid-Michigan ADDY Awards Ceremony, hosted by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) at the MSU Union. The ADDY Awards are the advertising and marketing industry’s largest and most recognized competition, receiving more than 50,000 entries annually. Thursday evening's "Mad Men"-themed ceremony was the local ADDY competition, and finalists move on to the regional ADDYs and then to the national ADDYs. Last year, two CAS students won National ADDY Awards.

This year, CAS students won 53 ADDY Awards: 1 Student Best of Show, 13 gold, 20 silver and 19 merit ADDYs. In addition to the student winners, CAS faculty and staff won seven ADDYs: two gold, two silver and three merit. This is the greatest number of ADDY Award winners in the college's history.
