tornado ===
On the evening of March 19, 2018, an EF3 tornado struck the campus, causing minor to severe damage to every building. It was the first day of spring break for both the university and the Jacksonville City School System.
Classes resumed at the university on April 9, 2018, and the spring commencement ceremony was held on May 4, 2018, as scheduled, but moved to JSU Stadium from Pete Mathews Coliseum (which was also closed due to tornado damage). There were four injuries among city residents and no fatalities. More than $100 million in property damage was inflicted on the university and on April 27, 2018, President Donald Trump declared the event a federal disaster. The university continued its summer semester as planned, and President John Beehler stated all subsequent semesters will continue as normal.
