Today we reflect on Claude Pepper's monumental contributions to the dignity and economic security of older Americans. Remember the plowboy from Alabama who made it his life’s mission to protect them. Happy Birthday, Senator Pepper. #ClaudePepper #FloridaHistory #AmericanHistory

Florida State University has earned a leading role in one of the nation’s most ambitious scientific initiatives. We're proud to lead four projects and partner on a fifth through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, advancing breakthroughs in AI, quantum science, fusion energy and national security. Among public universities, only one institution was selected to lead more projects. This remarkable achievement reflects the extraordinary talent of our faculty and the growing national prominence of FSU’s research enterprise. news.fsu.edu/news/university…

Florida State University honors the memory of those lost and all who were impacted by the tragedy on campus one year ago, April 17. At noon, the FSU community will pause for a moment of silence and reflection. This time will be marked by the sound of bells ringing across campus, followed by a moment of silence. The Student Government Association will host a space for reflection on Legacy Walk, near the FSU letters, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Flowers will be available for placement on the FSU letters, along with messages of hope. The Unconquered Statue will be lit throughout the day as a symbol of remembrance and resilience. Links for resources for students, faculty and staff are available at response.fsu.edu.
A large crowd of FSU students, faculty, and staff gathered on Langford Green for a solemn vigil remembering the tragedy of April 17, 2025. In the foreground, a memorial table is filled with dozens of lit candles and colorful bouquets of flowers, with attendees standing closely behind it.
