At 18 years old, most people are picking a major.

Demetria Coley just made history.

The Florida native crossed the stage as the youngest graduate in Florida State University College of Nursing’s history... carrying not just a degree, but a legacy. Inspired by her late mother, a NICU nurse, Demetria turned grief into purpose and discipline into destiny.

From earning her associate degree at 15 to volunteering in emergency departments and training in women’s health, she didn’t just dream early... she moved early.

This isn’t just about age. It’s about alignment.

And somewhere, her mother’s legacy is smiling back. 🖤

Thousands of Florida State University students, faculty, staff, and community members gathered on Friday at Langford Green in a powerful display of solidarity to remember the two lives lost and the six others injured in the shooting at the Student Union on Thursday.

The Gathering of Unity vigil provided a space for the FSU family to come together to offer support and comfort to one another in the wake of the tragedy.

[FSU President Richard McCullough @PresMcCullough]

Dear FSU community,

Today, we experienced a tragic and senseless act of violence at the heart of our campus.

At lunchtime, an active shooter opened fire at the Student Union. Two were killed. Six others were injured.

We are heartbroken. We are grieving with the families, friends, and loved ones of those who were lost. We are holding close those who are injured, and we are standing by everyone who is hurting.

I’ve been in constant contact with our law enforcement and emergency teams since the incident began. The FSU Police Department, along with the Tallahassee Police Department, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Florida Highway Patrol, responded immediately and decisively. FSU Police contained the threat and prevented even greater tragedy. I am grateful for their courage and professionalism.

Right now, our focus is on taking care of people. That means the victims and their families. It means students, faculty, and staff who were nearby and are now trying to make sense of what they experienced. And it means every person in our campus community who is feeling shaken or overwhelmed.

We are working closely with our leadership, law enforcement, and mental health professionals to ensure that everyone has the support they need. If you’re struggling, please reach out to our Counseling & Psychological Services team at (850) 644-TALK (8255). You are not alone.

There will be more updates in the days ahead, and more time to reflect and heal. But now, we mourn together. We lean on one another. And we remember who we are.

We are Florida State. We are family. And we stand together.

Sincerely,

Richard McCullough
President
