Subject: University of New Orleans issues mandatory evacuation order

SMS Alert Text:

University of New Orleans has issued a mandatory evacuation order across all campuses due to an unspecified threat. Nearby schools also in lockdown. Monitoring.

Supplemental Info:

The evacuation coincides with UNO's scheduled Fall 2025 Commencement ceremony at the Lakefront Arena, where actor, writer, and producer Deric Augustine (UNO '12) was slated to deliver the keynote address. It's unclear if the ceremony has been canceled or relocated, but the timing has amplified concerns amid the large gathering of graduates, families, and faculty.

UNO Police: "This is an actual emergency and not a drill."
Authorities are urging anyone on or near UNO property to leave immediately and avoid the area until further notice.
Additional alerts will be issued as warranted.

If you are located in the area:

Caution urged. Do not approach the campus.
Follow instructions of local authorities.
Commuters should anticipate delays and consider alternate routing.
Monitor local news sources for further information.
