Shoutout to students and faculty at and ! At Rollins, the event "Spread Cream Cheese, Not Hate" brought the community together with bagels and shared conversations on unity. Meanwhile, at Stetson, we engaged with students, faculty, and significant partners including the U.S. Attorney from the Department of Justice.

Many students and faculty members stepped up, signing the pledge, eager to make a difference but unsure how. The Central Florida Pledge provides that opportunity – a promise to foster peace and stand against hatred.

Let’s keep this momentum going! Whether you’re a student, faculty member, or part of the wider community, your signature can drive change. Visit centrafloridapledge.com to sign the pledge and learn more about how you can contribute to building the kind of community we all deserve.
