Back-to-back hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the community surrounding Stetson University College of Law.  

As Gulfport, the Pinellas beaches, and parts of St. Petersburg were particularly hard-hit, some Stetson Law students lost everything from laptops and textbooks to homes and vehicles. 

One student reported losing virtually all of their belongings and remains displaced after the storms caused extensive damage to their home. Yet another said they lost all furniture, personal belongings, clothes, and shoes to flooding. Another said they lost two refrigerators’ worth of food due to two consecutive, prolonged power outages.
