Four inspirational ideas that are behind everything we do, conveniently expressed in the form of posters
Rollins
MAKE TOMORROW HAPPEN
HERE’S AN IDEA: College should be built on a human scale. It should feel like an authentic community. You should know—and value, and collaborate with— the people in that community. Here’s another idea: College should be enterprising. And civic-minded. It should help make the world smarter, more effective, and more open to possibility. And another: Winter Park would be a great place to put a college. It’s a friendly, cosmopolitan community on the edge of Orlando, one of the country’s most diverse, innovative, creative cities. Imagine. If you go to a college that combines all of these ideas into one experience, you should develop profound habits of mind and transformative habits of the heart. You should gain the wisdom and the courage to be a worldly, responsible citizen and leader. Welcome to Rollins. We’ve been putting good ideas to work in the world since 1885. We make tomorrow happen.
MAKE THE WORLD BRIGHTER

Forged in the classroom. Nurtured in partnership with expert faculty. Put to work in our community. This is where your ideas get ready to change the world. See for yourself. Schedule a visit at rollins.edu/visit.
MORE THAN A FEW WAYS WE MAKE TOMORROW SMARTER ROLLINS COLLEGE CONFERENCE (RCC)
The first class you take at Rollins—and a kind of template for the work you’ll do in the next four years. Each RCC class is a discussion-based seminar in a specialized topic (recent examples: Language and Identity, The Science and Culture of Chocolate, Ancient Chinese Thought in Modern American Life). There’s an engaging professor, an upperclass student mentor, and roughly 16 of your peers in a class that’s built around your first-year residence hall. So you’re not just taking a class— you’re joining an intellectual community.
CREATING YOUR OWN CAREER PATH
Lyndsey Goode ’12 was a theatre arts major at Rollins—which is another way of saying she was ready for anything. She’s been the technical director of a worldwide magic show and account manager for a production company. Now she works for Cuberis, a web design firm specializing in museum websites—the kind of business that didn’t exist a little while ago.
THE ROLLINS URBAN FARM
Started by Andrew Lesmes ’15 as an independent study after he did an internship at Orlando’s East End Market. A still-growing example of academic and environmental enterprise: a student-run, self-sustaining market garden that sells its produce to the Rollins-owned Alfond Inn and the College’s food service.
STUDENT-FACULTY COLLABORATIVE SCHOLARSHIP
A simple idea that gets transformative results. After your first year at Rollins, you and a professor can apply for funding to engage in a collaborative summer research project. You design it together, work on it together, make mistakes together, write papers and present them at conferences together. Rollins has already given $1.5 million to support dozens of projects.
STARTING A MAJOR THAT’S AHEAD OF THE CURVE
Rollins’ Social Entrepreneurship and Business Program is the first AACSB-accredited program of its kind in the nation. It’s a crossdisciplinary, solutions-oriented incubator for change-making.
FIELD STUDY PROGRAMS
The world in 1 to 3 weeks. Rollins offers about a dozen field studies every year—faculty-led, shortterm courses that examine a topic by living and working in the middle of it. So a field study called, say, Environment & Development in Central America examines the effects of deforestation and population growth by spending a week in Costa Rica, talking to local planters, biologists, craftspeople, and government officials, exploring the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, the La Selva Biological Station, the Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge, craft cooperatives, energy facilities, and more. Revelatory in every way.
NOT SOLVING THE NONPROBLEM OF KIERKEGAARD Joshua Brown ’19, Lily Tawam ’19, and Professor of Religion Mario D’Amato spent a year examining the work of pioneering existentialist Soren Kierkegaard. (Sample famous quote: “Once you label me, you negate me.”) Their work led to a co-authored paper—and to new insoluble, inspiring problems.
IMMERSIONS
A signature Rollins experience: spending a week (often during spring break) with a group of friends, faculty, and staff, doing hard, complex work that makes communities around the world healthier, safer, and more sustainable. Rollins sponsors roughly 20 Immersions every year; many are organized and run by students. Recent examples: installing water-filtration systems in the Dominican Republic, tutoring students at low-income schools in New York City, supporting environmental restoration initiatives in the Smoky Mountains.
THE BONNER LEADERS PROGRAM
One of 60 colleges and universities in the Bonner Leaders Program, a national initiative that provides service-learning, leadership, and social justice opportunities (and scholarships!) to students who seek to alleviate social issues and find ways to work for change throughout their careers.
STUDYING PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION ON THE NEPALESE STOCK EXCHANGE And taking two years to do it, in collaboration with a faculty mentor. That’s what Raghabendra KC ’13 did. He’s now a PhD candidate at the Cambridge Judge Business School in England.
WINTER PARK INSTITUTE
An ongoing conversation with some of the world’s most innovative thinkers, artists, and activists. Every year, the Institute’s guests take up residence at Rollins and offer seminars, lectures, readings, master classes, performances, open discussions, and exhibits. Recent guests: Candy Chang, Billy Collins, Leymah Gbowee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jaron Lanier, Maya Lin, Jon Meacham, Story Musgrave.
MAKING CHEMISTRY GREEN (AND WINNING A GOLDWATER SCHOLARSHIP) Over the course of two summers, Alyssa DeLucia ’18 interned in a molecular oncology lab at the Moffitt Cancer Center and joined a 10-week research program at Georgia Tech’s School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Here’s one thing she discovered: She wants to make the chemical industry—an industry that affects nearly everyone on the planet— more environmentally friendly. The Goldwater Scholarship—one of the country’s most generous awards for undergraduate students in the sciences—will help her get there.
INTELLIGENCE IS A FORCE FOR GOOD
Rollins
We’re known for the intimacy of our discussionbased classes, but don’t expect to be tied to a round table all the time. From SeaWorld to our on-campus fine arts museum, all of Orlando is your classroom. See for yourself. Schedule a visit at rollins.edu/visit.
MORE THAN A FEW OPPORTUNITIES WE’VE SEIZED (IN A FRIENDLY, ENTERPRISING WAY) RETHINKING THE WAY EDUCATION WORKS
The core of a Rollins education is Rollins Foundations in the Liberal Arts. The program includes one intensive seminar, coursework in four 21st-century competencies (foreign languages, health and wellness, mathematical thinking, writing), and a cluster of classes in one of four areas of inquiry, which we call “neighborhoods” (because we’re friendly; because ideas are interrelated; and because the guy who invented Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood went here). The point is: We believe that a liberal arts education should change to meet the changing world.
HIRING PROFESSORS WHO ARE FASCINATING HUMAN BEINGS
Dan Myers is a prize-winning flatpicking guitarist. He’s also a professor of computer science. He’s also the co-developer— with Neeraj Chatlani ’18—of an adaptive system for training new programmers in coding literacy, the ability to read and interpret programs. Which led to the two of them publishing an article in a national journal and presenting at a national conference. At Rollins, professors aren’t just a number— they’re flatpicking research colleagues.
SECOND STAGE SERIES
A regular series of adventurous student-run (and designed, and performed, and marketed) theatre productions, held in our Fred Stone Theatre. Overseen by our very own Rollins Players, the series is free and open to all.
SPARC DAY
One of your first days on campus is SPARC Day, a hands-on introduction to service in and around Central Florida, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It’s been part of our first-year orientation for more than a decade. Thoughtful, compassionate civic action has been part of our mission since 1885.
CREATING AN ORIENTATION CENTER FOR YOUR LIFE
We’re renovating a major building at the center of campus (it’s called Mills). In the end, it will include
the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement, Social Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hub, Office of International Programs, and Center for Career and Life Planning—all built around a multi-story common area. So you can make literal and figurative connections between education and experience.
GOING INTO ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST COMPLICATED HUMANITARIAN CRISES AND FINDING A WAY TO HELP
Elise Letanosky ’07 is a protection manager for the Danish Refugee Council. She works in two Turkish cities north of Aleppo, Syria, a border region where hundreds of thousands of Syrians have fled. She works with refugees, with local officials, with community organizations, with donors— building networks of support for people in profound need.
ESTABLISHING A MAJOR GRADUATE BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE
Our Crummer Graduate School of Business is home to Florida’s topranked MBA program, the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, and the Edyth Bush Institute for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. They see business as an exploration of possibility, a collaborative, cross-disciplinary venture capable of producing profound social and economic change. Not coincidentally, we offer a 3/2 program with Crummer in which you can earn a bachelor’s degree and an MBA in five years.
INTERSESSION
We took that slow week at the end of the break between fall and spring semesters and made it into an intensive seven-day semester. Students take one specialized class for the entire week. A sample of recent topics: A.I. vs. I.Q., Heroines in Sci-Fi Films, Introduction to Chinese Calligraphy, Job Market Boot Camp, and A Sociological Study of Orange Is the New Black.
GIVING AN UNEXPECTED ANSWER TO THE QUESTION, “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT DEGREE?” Our graduates understand that their degree goes way beyond their major—and that their major can be incredibly flexible. Two examples: Jonathan Titone ’99 majored in philosophy; he’s a global market consultant at Northern Trust Corporation and the former executive director at the National Bank of Abu Dhabi. Laney Jones ’13 has released three albums with her band the
Lively Spirits (which features two other Rollins alumni), performed in the American Voices Festival at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and is generally considered a rising newgrass (post-bluegrass) star. Her major at Rollins? International business.
EMERGING LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
An empowering weekend that brings together new and seasoned student leaders. A time to learn new skills, meet new mentors, and make bold new plans. One of the many inspiring programs brought to you by our mighty Office of Community Engagement.
RUNNING A TOP 10 HOTEL IN THE U.S. (CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER), USING ITS PUBLIC SPACES AS A ROTATING CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, AND USING ITS PROFITS TO SUPPORT A SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The hotel is The Alfond Inn. The art—more than 130 works from some of the world’s major living artists—is part of our Alfond Collection, overseen by our Cornell Fine Arts Museum. The full-ride scholarships are life-changing.
REIMAGINING URBAN TRANSPORTATION
Peter Martinez ’13 founded Orlando’s first bike share program—a vision that started as an undergraduate paper at Rollins. Now he runs his own transportation consulting group, Mode Split, helping cities around the country develop sustainable ways to move from place to place.
WHEN YOU DON’T SEE AN OPPORTUNITY, MAKE ONE
Computer science major Michael Gutensohn launched his career with back-to-back internships at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, one of the crown jewels of Central Florida’s booming aerospace industry. See for yourself. Schedule a visit at rollins.edu/visit.

MORE THAN A FEW PLACES WHERE WE BUILD GREAT COMMUNITIES
CANDLEWISH
One of the first and most memorable ways we come together as a community, inspired in part by our motto, Fiat Lux: Let There Be Light. A ceremony during orientation that connects our past, our present, and our future. A moment of belonging, of purpose, of light.
PINEHURST COTTAGE
An independent-minded, community-oriented living and learning community in a handsomely renovated landmark building. Home to students from all majors and all backgrounds who share a dedication to social change. Also home to regular events like Professors on the Porch, Pancakes on the Porch, and the Pinehurst Porch Sessions. (They have a porch, by the way.)
IN THE MIDDLE OF NATURAL WONDERS
Central Florida has a strong environmental movement, partly because the natural environment is stunning (and precious). A few examples: Wekiwa Springs State Park is 30 minutes away. Blue Springs State Park (with manatees!) is 45 minutes away. And Canaveral National Seashore is under an hour away.
WINTER WITH THE WRITERS
Every February, our Department of English hosts some of the country’s most important authors. They give readings, join discussions, and meet with students. Recent guests: Chris Abani, Ishion Hutchinson, Hillary Jordan, Luis Muñoz, Azar Nafisi, Charles Simic.
FOX DAY
A day in spring—a day “too pretty to have class”—when the president cancels undergraduate classes. An excellent way to promote collective joy.
THE BUSH SCIENCE CENTER AT MIDNIGHT ON A RANDOM WEDNESDAY
It’s busy! Not by coincidence, it was designed to encourage collaboration; there are lounges, a cafe, and generous space for interaction between students and faculty. A social and intellectual hub.
AT AN ORLANDO CITY SOCCER MATCH
The team is a newcomer to Major League Soccer—and already renowned for its passionate fan base. A living symbol of a young, cosmopolitan, fantastically diverse city.
IN EXTRAORDINARY REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE SPACES
THE SANDSPUR
Like the 27,000-square-foot Keene Hall, home to our Department of Music. Or the 400-seat John M. Tiedtke Concert Hall, home to two rebuilt Steinway D Concert grand pianos and headlining venue for our departmental concerts and visiting artists. Or our recording studio, our chamber music rehearsal room, or our state-ofthe-art 10-station keyboard and computer lab.
The weekly student-run newspaper. Established in 1894 with this charge: “Unassuming yet almighty sharp and pointed, well-rounded yet many-sided, assiduously tenacious, victorious in single combat, and therefore without a peer, wonderfully attractive and extensive in circulation; all these will be found upon investigation to be among the extraordinary qualities of The Sandspur.” In other words: It’s not just a newspaper; it’s a way of life.
AMID THE HIDDEN GLORIES OF WINTER PARK
THE MANY NEIGHBORHOODS OF ORLANDO
A lush downtown, steps from campus and an integral part of our daily life, featuring boutiques, cafes, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Lake Virginia, on the edge of campus. Plus a regular farmers market, the Enzian Theater (home to the Florida Film Festival), and restaurants like Ethos (vegan), Prato, and The Ravenous Pig.
IN LOCAL CLASSROOMS
We try to be good (meaning smart, collaborative, engaged) neighbors. A recent example: Sam Sadeh ’18 won a $1,100 grant through Google’s highly selective igniteCS initiative. He used it to help teach coding to students in a local after-school program. He developed a curriculum, recruited a small group of Rollins students, and worked with MIT’s childfriendly Scratch software.
A partial list: Audubon Park, College Park, Colonial Town, Milk District, Mills 50, Thornton Park. Each has its own vibe; each has great food and a lively social scene; all are worth exploring. Easily accessible with our campus ZipCar program or the city’s SunRail service.
ROLLINS COLLEGE DEBATE CLUB
A championship-caliber team with a global travel schedule. Won the 2016-2017 National Parliamentary Debate Association Novice Championship Tournament. Seriously smart, highly entertaining.
ORLANDO TECH MEET-UP
Which is the South’s largest gathering of tech entrepreneurs, and just one example of Orlando’s flourishing innovation culture. The city is home to more than 100 companies that are global leaders in tomorrow’s industries (modeling, simulation, virtual reality), plus major research and training facilities for the U.S. military.
AT THE HOME OF “THE BEST IN BASEMENT RADIO”
By which we mean studentrun WPRK, 91.5 FM, the oldest continually operating radio station in Florida. The lineup of shows is like an introduction to the unsung beauty of the Rollins community: Underground Rhythm District, Music of India, Acoustic Highway, Black Market Funk, Metal Train, Bargain Bin Bonanza, Roots Uprising, Out Loud Orlando!, Punk Rock in Your PJs, Rock En Español, Unorthodox.
GREAT COMMUNITIES ARE POWERED BY RELATIONSHIPS
Our res halls are far more than a comfy place to lay your head. They’re kinetic hives of community and collaboration, diversity and discourse, learning and laughter. See for yourself. Schedule a visit at rollins.edu/visit.
