FSU announces increased security measures during upcoming Spring commencements


Florida State University announced new safety measures ahead of its fall commencement.

In a post on the university’s Instagram page, President Richard McCullough outlined that graduations will still happen but with a couple of changes.

According to the post, there will be increased security at all commencement events.

This includes increased police and support personnel to ensure a safe and supportive environment.

Each ceremony, including Panama City, will begin with a moment of silence to honor Robert Morales and Tiru Chabba, both of whom were killed after a school shooting last Thursday.
