Inside the epic international adventure teaching Tars to change the world
A Ride to Remember This past summer, 12 Rollins students spent two weeks in Africa as part of political science professor Dan Chong’s field study focused on community development. They dug trenches, hauled bricks, and mixed compost while working on community projects alongside locals in the village of Mkyashi, Tanzania. They met with local entrepreneurs who shared the ins and outs of everything from beekeeping to microfinance in Dago, Kenya. And in between all the learning, listening, and good works, they took a once-in-a-lifetime safari through Serengeti National Park, camping under blankets of stars and marveling at the interplay of wildlife on the open savanna. Turn to page 14 to learn how this field study is helping create a new generation of global citizens committed to being part of the progress.

The renovated Mills Memorial Center will blend a modern layout and 21st-century amenities with an exterior style that will feel right at home alongside Rollins’ Spanish-Mediterranean architecture.
6 | Fall 2018
A Conversation with THE PRESIDENT
Building Momentum This past summer, Rollins broke ground on an ambitious building project that will breathe new life into a campus icon, Mills Memorial Hall. We recently sat down with President Cornwell to get the inside scoop on what the rejuvenated Mills will mean for current and future Tars. Q: The new Mills will feature a modern layout and 21st-century amenities, but with this renovation the College is investing in much more than a state-ofthe-art facility, isn’t it? A: When we went through the strategic planning process, we identified a number of things that we’re going to do differently to either get better at delivering on our promises to our students or make us more competitive in our market. Many of those initiatives called for new or reimagined spaces that would allow us to fulfill that vision. But we’re not investing in buildings per se. What we’re really doing is investing in our programs. We have all of these programs that are core to our mission and are extremely important to our students and their current and future success. With the new Mills, we’re investing in these programs, bringing them together, and lifting them up. Q: Because of its location, Mills has always felt like the heart of campus, but this renovation promises to make Mills the heart of our mission too. What does it mean when we call Mills a missiondriven center? A: Our mission is to educate students for global citizenship and responsible leadership, empowering them to live meaningful lives and forge productive careers. Many of our programs that do that most powerfully are going to be centered in
the new Mills. Ask our students how they’re growing as global citizens and responsible leaders and how they’re being prepared to put their educations to work in the world, and they’ll cite our study abroad programs and faculty-led field studies. They’ll cite SPARC Day, Immersions, and community engagement courses. And they’ll cite internships, mentorships, and professional research opportunities. We’re collecting all of those and more in Mills, and creating a powerful nexus of impactful initiatives right in the middle of campus where students can conveniently tap into them. Q: Mills will bring together 10 curricular and co-curricular programs in an environment that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. What’s the goal in co-locating programs like the Center for Career & Life Planning and the Center for Leadership & Community Engagement? A: The liberal arts are all about bringing different points of view into conversation and realizing new things that you couldn’t see if you were in your own silo. We have all of these well-established programs doing fantastic work, but many of them are isolated in their physical domains all across campus. The new Mills will not only bring all of these programs together, but it’s also designed to build upon their synergies. It will be full of high-impact spaces where our students, staff, and faculty will be
able to meet, work together, and develop innovative ideas and opportunities. It will be a hive of engaged learning, creative problem solving, and entrepreneurial thinking. It’s hard to predict exactly what will come out of that collaborative environment, but that’s part of what makes this project so exciting. Q: The Rollins community is deeply connected to the look and feel of our campus. Should they be worried about new building projects like Mills? A: It was three years ago now that The Princeton Review identified Rollins as having the most beautiful campus in the country, and the first thing everyone says when they step on our campus is, “Wow, this is beautiful.” The renovation of Mills and other strategic building projects will only accentuate that. We’re not changing the campus vernacular. Everything is being designed with Rollins’ traditional look and feel, and we’re taking buildings that were old and tired and making them very special and very Rollins. At the same time, we’re investing in spaces that elevate the things that have always made Rollins great—close partnerships between faculty and students, entrepreneurial thinking and courageous action, rigorous and relevant academics, and a commitment to communities in our backyard and around the world. The new Mills will honor our past while preparing our students to create a brighter tomorrow. Rollins.edu | 7

Test Subject A new funded internship pilot program aimed at delivering the best in handson experience allowed Laura Tao ’19 to spend the summer making discoveries at a premier medical research center. Laura Tao ’19 thrives off systems and order and analysis, and she’s most at home when she’s in the lab. Her home of late has been a lab at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in Lake Nona, thanks to a Rollins pilot program that’s providing students the financial freedom to pursue top internship opportunities in our backyard and around the world. Tao, a biochemistry/molecular biology major, is one of 11 students chosen as the inaugural cohort of Rollins Professional Fellows, a highly selective funded internship program that enjoyed a successful trial phase this past summer. From reporting for one of Morocco’s top news organizations to fighting for LGBT rights on Capitol Hill, these first fellows enjoyed the financial freedom to capitalize on one-of-a-kind internship opportunities. Trustee Carroll Hanley Goggin ’85 provided seed money for the program’s inaugural cohort this summer, and her gift will also fund a second cohort of enterprising students in summer 2019. Meanwhile, longtime donor David Lamm made the first gift to establish an endowed fund, which when fully funded by additional donors would support the internship program moving forward. For Tao, who aspires to be a research scientist, the opportunity to work alongside molecular biologist Dr. Timothy Osborne on lipid metabolism in a professional lab was the stuff of dreams. “During my internship, the terms I’ve learned in class weren’t just terms anymore,” says Tao. “Instead, they became samples and data that were actually done by me. Because of the support of the Rollins Professional Fellows, I was able to throw myself into doing and learning without worrying about how to support myself financially for the summer.” Learn more about Rollins Professional Fellows and see more success stories from the pilot program at rollins.edu/professional-fellows.

It takes a village
In addition to Moon Ryan, numerous faculty, staff, and students team up to make the LLC program a success. Residential assistants handle in-hall programming, graduate students live on campus and mentor undergrads, residential life staff make their home in Sutton Apartments, and professors from every discipline teach RCC courses.
Home School For residents of Ward Hall, the successful transition to college is made easier by the art professor, former valedictorian, and outgoing toddler who live on the first floor. Prior to taking up residence alongside first-year students in Ward Hall, MacKenzie Moon Ryan admits to being “kind of an office junkie.” It’s safe to say she’s kicked that habit. As Rollins’ faculty director of the Living Learning Communities (LLC) program, Moon Ryan—an assistant professor of art history—is now smack dab in the middle of it all, sharing a first-floor apartment with husband James Ryan ’17 ’19MBA, not-quite-2-year-old daughter Imogen, and, well, let’s be honest, pretty much anyone on campus who wants to swing by for a chat. Officially, she’s there to “foster collaboration between academic affairs and student affairs by integrating in- and outof-the-classroom experiences in Rollins’ residence halls.” But that’s a mouthful. More simply, Moon Ryan’s job is to reflect the name of the program: live on campus, help new students learn holistically, and build community. “I find myself being much more social in this role,” she says. “It’s really opened up my schedule and my flexibility, and I’m a lot more accessible now.” Helping new students transition to college—and become successful beyond their first semester—is what drives Moon Ryan to serve as Rollins’ sole faculty-in-residence. “The personal and professional really blend,” she says, “but I see that as an advantage at this point in life. I couldn’t be happier. Plus, everyone is jealous because I have a reserved parking space.” 12 | Fall 2018
Community courses
In LLC halls like Ward, students are housed according to their Rollins Conference Course (RCC), a firstsemester seminar class based on a broad range of topics. This creates a community where residents live and learn together, experiencing college life with a group of classmates who share similar interests. They also meet regularly with their RCC professor outside the classroom and often retain them as an advisor.

Cute connections
When Moon Ryan picks up Imogen from day care at 3:30, they usually spend the afternoon traipsing around campus—from climbing stairs in the library to banging out a few notes on the practice pianos in Keene Hall. It’s a natural icebreaker too. “Imogen’s a great conversation starter,” she says, “and the students can always find something to talk about when my daughter’s present.”
Open door
Sometimes students stop in because they’re homesick. Other times they’re looking for personal advice or academic insights. Last fall, James—Rollins’ 2017 valedictorian—cooked all 18 of his wife’s RCC students a meal. Regardless of why they come to the apartment, one thing is certain: Titchfield, their adopted cat, is always game for a good belly rub.

PARTNERS IN PROGRESS On this field study, students don’t have to move a mountain. But with the help of a Rollins graduate and an entire village, they’re helping transform one.
A
sick feeling fell hard on Stella Khazzam ’21 in early June. It was the kind of feeling that makes the stomach swirl and the face sweat. The kind that comes upon you when you’re standing at the airport before a flight to another continent and you realize, I forgot my luggage. Or, in Stella’s case, my brother forgot my luggage. Did we mention she was feeling a little warm? “Yeah, I was supposed to bring her main bag to the airport,” says Nico Khazzam ’18. “She was standing there in a pair of nice jeans, a new pair of sneakers, and a backpack. That’s all she had for the next two weeks. Fortunately, she’s pretty easygoing.” She would need to be. A few months earlier, Nico had talked Stella into flying 17 hours to Africa with a group of 12 Rollins students as part of political science professor Dan Chong’s field study focused on community development. The trip had impacted Nico so much a year earlier that he decided to go again, even though he didn’t need the two credit hours (he’d just graduated). The students would be digging trenches, hauling bricks, and working on farms, learning what the term “social entrepreneurship” means. Not just learning it, though. Experiencing it, side by side with the people in the communities. First in Tanzania and then in Kenya.
Through action and observation, Dan Chong and his students learn firsthand the transformative power of an array of community development projects, from organic agriculture and beekeeping to ecotourism and microfinance.
For the next two weeks, Stella would live with just the contents of her little backpack. “She had no option but to let everything go,” says Nico. The “letting go” started 6,000 feet above sea level, in a tiny village on Mount Kilimanjaro with a serendipitous connection to Rollins.
Laying the groundwork
T
he ground in certain spots around the village of Mkyashi, Tanzania, is so hard that to move the dirt, it first has to be cracked with pick axes. So, it seems, do stereotypes about the work college students might do on a field study in a developing community like Mkyashi. Bricks for schoolhouses. Medicine for the sick. Leaving a place looking better than it did two weeks ago. It’s all done with good intention, but for Chong, community development involves more than getting your pants filthy. “We take students who have a basic understanding of holistic development and let them see it up close,” he says. “That means whatever we help facilitate in a community, we want the people who live there to grow it and sustain it. What we offer is solidarity, empowerment, and ideas for business models. The truth is, they don’t need our skills.” All of which describes Sam Barns ’11 ’12MBA. Barns confesses to having little to offer in the form of handyman skills. Yet it’s a physical structure he’s planned and started constructing in Mkyashi that has the community enthused and students arriving from 8,000 miles away. Barns’ groundbreaking idea? A 10-room ecolodge. That’s it. A hand-built, no-frills lodge perched on the lush mountainside of
Mkyashi. It isn’t even finished. But the genius of the lodge is that it weaves together Barns’ desire to improve lives long-term, his business acumen, a willingness to sweat, and even more willingness to collaborate. “Sam is the reason this field study is unlike any other at Rollins,” says Chong. “The whole thing has come full circle.” When Barns and his wife-to-be, Allison Crocker ’10 ’12MBA, first visited Tanzania in 2010, they came for the same reason most people do: fun. It most definitely was not for school. “I thought we should go somewhere really cool before starting the MBA program and then an internship and then a job,” says Barns. “It might be our last chance for a long time.” For 10 weeks they simply hung out with the people of Mkyashi, listening to their stories and drinking their banana beer. They had no agenda. Which could be why the experience left such an imprint on the couple. “It made us want to stay involved,” says Barns. He kept thinking about the Politics of Global Poverty and International Politics classes he’d taken with Chong, where Barns first heard someone openly talk about the positive and negative consequences of global assistance. Someone who had traveled to undeveloped communities around the world and could still talk optimistically about them. “It isn’t unusual for someone to come back from a trip like Sam’s and be really passionate about something,” says Chong. “For him the passion didn’t fade. It just kept growing.”
Rollins.edu | 17
Starting the MBA program at Crummer upon his return from Tanzania proved timely. Every class filled another piece in the puzzle, which was ultimately completed by an entrepreneurship class. As part of the coursework, students had to write a business plan. This is when everything crystalized for Barns: He would help build an ecolodge in Mkyashi. The ecolodge would attract travelers respectful of the environment and culture, while also providing income for people of the village—not as employees but as owners. “Putting it all on paper made the idea more real,” says Barns. He gathered input from faculty and friends, but the real turning point came in a conversation with Chong, with whom Barns would talk after their intramural basketball games. “If you do this,” said Chong of the ecolodge, “I’ll bring students to the village for field studies.” “That was huge,” says Barns, “because there was nothing vague in what he said. He wasn’t saying ‘Good luck with it.’ He was saying he wanted to be a part of it.” The business plan called for $250,000 in fundraising. After 18 months, with only a fraction of the seed money raised, Barns decided to heck with it. He’d go back and live in Mkyashi for a year. He’d help plant organic gardens and break ground on a community-operated water system. He’d develop more relational capital and drink more banana beer. All along he’d be building something more permanent than even a lodge—he’d be building a bridge to a better future.
A dream gathers steam
I
n 2014, after Barns returned to the U.S., he landed a position with Better Lives that mirrored what he’d been doing in Mkyashi. The Nashville-based nonprofit helps develop sustainable infrastructures in areas of need around the world. That same year, Chong made good on his promise. He led his first group of Rollins students to Mkyashi. Barns was there to make introductions. “I can’t tell you how gratifying it was to go there and see the people in the community looking at this former Rollins student as one of their own,” says Chong. “With each trip to the village, I’d see the same passion that inspired Sam inspiring other students.” Students like Nico Khazzam. He went barefoot during most of his two field studies, not as penance for forgetting his sister’s work shoes, but because he quickly figured out the long-term value of following the local people rather than directing them. “My first time there I thought ‘doing good’ meant we had to go in and do something huge, change the world in a matter of days,” says Nico. “But then you see the slow process of the ecolodge, you see how patient Sam is, and you see the importance of relationships and asking questions like, ‘What do you need?’ and ‘How do you want to do it?’” At the heart of it all, even in its stop-and-go construction phase, is the ecolodge. On the fertile ground is a blossoming outdoor kitchen, a bathroom, temporary tents where lodging will eventually be, an organic garden, and clean water. There’s also an infusion of energy every time Rollins students step onto the mountainside. Rollins.edu | 19
“You see the importance of relationships and asking questions like, ‘What do you need?’ and ‘How do you want to do it?’” — Nico Khazzam ’18
“When Dr. Chong brings his groups, you can sense a rise in enthusiasm in the village,” says Sam. “The students understand how social entrepreneurship works.” And so the cycle gathers momentum. Nico is rethinking his career plans, saying he’d like to do something similar to what Sam is doing. “Or maybe I’ll be a professor like Dr. Chong, and take students on field studies so I can watch their eyes open as wide as mine have.”
Making connections
W
ith the exception of a little turn into Canada a few years ago, Ali Dukstein ’20 had never ventured outside the U.S. Then she too strode off the plane in Africa, eyes wide. Three classes with Chong had convinced the political science major to go see for herself what it means to help develop a country. Or in her words, “How do I know I’m passionate about something if I don’t experience it for myself ?” So Dukstein went. She learned to swing a machete and the intricacies of mixing compost. Surface lessons, you could say. And then she learned something deeper on the back end of the two-week field study. “I learned that listening is a key to sustainability.” Her light-bulb moment happened not in the compost pile, but during a microfinance meeting in Dago, Kenya. In another global Rollins connection, the students had been staying for a few days on the family farm of Patrick Odoyo, staff director of the College’s Social
Innovation & Entrepreneurship Hub. There in Odoyo’s hometown they met a lady who used a $50 loan to buy grass for her dairy cows and bottles for the milk, which she first filled and then sold in the community. She now has enough income to pay for electricity so her children can read at night. Another woman is using a small loan to start a hand-soap business. “Poverty in developing countries isn’t always what we think it is,” says Dukstein. “The people are capable of building a business and operating it themselves. They just need a little help getting basic infrastructure off the ground.” Can big ideas like “social entrepreneurship” and “global citizenship” and “community development” be as simple as that? Something you can accomplish without millions of dollars or plane loads of relief or so much as a change of clothes? For the record, Stella Khazzam says she learned a valuable lesson after two weeks without her luggage: “I’ve been overpacking.” Her brother, Nico, thinks about the wisdom of her remark. He also thinks about Barns’ ecolodge and the trench the students helped dig. It will supply water to a few families in a little village on a mountain in Africa. “In the grand scheme,” he says, “it doesn’t seem like much. But when you’re there, you can feel it and see it—the world is becoming a better place for those people. And now they can make it as good as they want it to be.” Step back and observe. Maybe making the world better can be as simple as this.

Dramatic Drive Decorated playwright Beth Lincks ’75 traces her success to lessons learned both on and off the stage as a Rollins theater major. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon in Manhattan—if that’s even possible—but on this summer day, in a second-floor, Upper West Side apartment one block from Central Park, there’s no time for the energetic Beth Lincks ’75 to sit back and relax. Lincks, an award-winning playwright who leads theatrical workshops around the country, is furiously tackling some muchneeded housekeeping after six weeks on the road. In an hour, it’s off to a rehearsal. Tonight, there’s a reading of a short play. “As an artist,” she says, “you have to keep going. Nobody’s going to make it happen for you. I always have a number of irons in the fire.” Raised in Sarasota by parents from eastern Kentucky, Lincks got the acting bug at age 10 when her mother, an English teacher, took her to the theater. In high school, fate intervened when she saw Man of La Mancha at Rollins while visiting family in Orlando. As a Tar, Lincks haunted the Annie Russell, Fred Stone, and Edyth Bush theaters, often pulling sleepless nights to build sets, rehearse scenes, or put the finishing touches on a big production. For three summers, she worked as Rollins’ box office and house manager, honing a bevy of skills that would soon be put to good use professionally. Three weeks after graduating from Florida State with her MFA, the Big Apple beckoned. Success didn’t happen overnight, but Lincks kept busy on the edges of showbiz, selling subscriptions at Lincoln Center, landing small acting parts on soap operas, and handling costumes on Broadway shows and Saturday Night Live. “I had enough experience to keep working in all kinds of little jobs here and there,” says Lincks. “I’ve never had to be a waitress or tour guide or all those jobs that actors tend to do.” In the mid-’90s, Lincks started writing and self-producing one-act plays under the pseudonym Arlene Hutton. The first, I Dream Before I Take the Stand, premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1995 and has seen a resurgence of late, as the plot is something akin to a nightmare #MeToo experience. “I would’ve really hoped that play would be out of date by now,” she laments. Lincks is best known for The Nibroc Trilogy, which is based on her parents’ tales of mid-century Americana. The New York Times wrote that the trilogy—Last Train to Nibroc, See Rock City, and Gulf View
22 | Fall 2018
Drive—“ought to be seen by anyone who doubts the capacity of frontporch drama to tell a meaningful story beyond its own perimeters.” In 2012, Lincks returned to the Annie Russell stage to help students put on the Holocaust-based Letters to Sala, which has since seen about 300 productions. Today, in addition to writing plays that have been performed on-, off-, and off-off Broadway—as well as in theaters across the globe—Lincks serves on the faculty at The Barrow Group, a nonprofit, off-Broadway theater company and performing arts training center. There, a young Anne Hathaway was in the first reading of her play As It Is in Heaven. “Most playwrights write a play and submit it to theaters and wait for someone to pick it up and produce it,” says Lincks about what sets her apart. “I’ve gone straight to making the production happen on my own, from raising the money to assembling a team to renting a theater. All those skills—fundraising, grant writing, marketing, management— came from my work at Rollins.” Over the course of a 40-year career, Lincks has won the Samuel French Short Play Festival three times, held numerous residencies, earned a fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and been commissioned as the first playwright of the Big Bridge Theatre Consortium (12 universities committed to developing new plays dedicated to peace and interfaith dialogue). Now she can add one more honor to the list: Rollins’ 2018 Alumni Achievement Award. “If you had gone back and looked at me at Rollins,” says Lincks, remembering her days in the Chi Omega house, “you would not have predicted me to win that award. I worked at the box office, I sewed the costumes, I turned the lights on and off. This is one of the most rewarding things to have happened to me.” Lincks speaks highly of the “level of commitment to quality” that has always characterized the College’s theater department—and provided the foundation for her success. “At Rollins, there was a culture of trying to do the best art you could do,” she says, pointing to influential figures like costume designer Mary Amlund, theater manager Steven Neilson, and English professor Alan Nordstrom. “Discipline, hard work, and a kind of noble aesthetic were encouraged from the top down.”

Meaningful Matches Inside the new mentorship program that’s proliferating the powerful partnerships between Rollins alumni and students. Mo Coffey ’08 had never done this before. She’d been many things—a business owner, a consultant, a wife, a friend—but “mentor” was entirely new territory. Coffey was chosen last fall to be among the first participants in the Career Champions Mentor Program, a fledgling mentorship initiative in which Rollins graduates provide current students guidance and glimpses into future meaningful lives and productive careers. Coffey was paired with Isaac James ’19, a junior transfer student majoring in public policy and political economy. After an introductory email, neither knew exactly what to expect. “I considered what I might bring to the table,” says Coffey, “like help with class selection, a supportive voice, some life lessons.” But then James turned the table on Coffey. As she says, “He changed my life.” That’s the mentor talking. The woman who directs the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service at NYU and consults major organizations from her Manhattan office. Yet it’s James who has become her role model. Through weekly emails and occasional phone calls, Coffey gradually learned James’ story. He grew up as a Sudanese refugee in Kenya, doing all he could as a young boy to take care of his family. Along the way, he discovered that education is the best way to improve lives—not just his own. “It isn’t just his story that changed me,” says Coffey. “It’s his character. He’s overcome more in his young life than we can fathom, and he’s doing it with grace and humility that are beyond his years. I’ve learned as much from mentoring Isaac as I have from anything else I’ve ever been a part of.” It’s a two-way street. “She’s become my role model too,” says James.
This is what Cassie Burns ’09, assistant director of alumni career engagement at Rollins’ Center for Career & Life Planning (CCLP), imagined when she began researching the optimum way to professionally pair alumni and students. As she laid the foundation for Career Champions, Burns interviewed student organizations, met with focus groups, and delved into research, including a Gallup study that said the odds of thriving in all areas of well-being are nearly twice as high among students who have mentors. “It seems like common sense for any college,” says Burns. “But only some institutions can do it well. The college has to be as relational as it is educational. That’s what Rollins is all about.” By all accounts, Rollins is doing it very well. In fact, of the 35 mentor-mentee pairs who participated in the pilot program this past spring, 100 percent of alumni said they would consider recommending the program to a peer and 96 percent of students said they would recommend Career Champions to a classmate. The feedback has been so positive that CCLP will ramp up the program to include up to 50 mentor-mentee matches in 2018–19. While impressive, numbers like these just reinforce the real power behind the program. Like the soccerplaying molecular biology student who was partnered with a soccer-playing surgeon. Or the student who discovered she was living in the exact same dorm room that her mentor had as an undergrad. The connections have ranged from Manhattan to Madagascar and are all anchored by shared experiences at Rollins. Burns and Rollins’ Office of Alumni Engagement use so much detail to match each mentor and mentee that these kinds of connections are not only common, they’re also more scientific than serendipitous.

Isaac James ’19
The Service Leaders When they connected during the fall of his junior year, Isaac James ’19 didn’t ask Mo Coffey ’08 for much. “I don’t think he wanted to bother me,” says Coffey. Help is not something James readily asked for as a young Sudanese refugee growing up in Kenya or as a grateful ex-refugee in Memphis or as a transfer student at Rollins. It took one conversation with Coffey for James to realize that he had a trusted confidant who could help him figure out the next steps in his life and career. “Isaac has become like family to my husband and me,” says Coffey. Someday, he might even become a colleague.
The Mentee: Isaac James ’19
Rollins’ first recipient of the prestigious Public Policy and International Affairs Fellowship; would like to help people from refugee camps transition to developed countries so they can pursue their dreams as he has Major: Public policy and political economy
What I Learned
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. As college students we shouldn’t pretend to have everything figured out. People like Mo are equipped to provide guidance—it isn’t a sign of weakness to admit you need it. It’s OK to take time off. As a rising senior, I completed a fellowship at the University of Michigan and had a traditional path in mind—finish my degree at Rollins and go straight to graduate school. Mo advised me to take some time off first, to clear my thoughts. I never expected that kind of advice, not just about my career but about life. 26 | Fall 2018
Serving others is a great way to grow. Mo invested and believed in me. She was never too busy to talk. I look at where she is in her career, and yet her greatest accomplishment is how she takes the time to impact others. I’ll always remember that.
The Mentor: Mo Coffey ’08
Rollins Alumni Board President; director of the Fellowship for Emerging Leaders in Public Service at NYU; founder of her own public-service consulting firm in New York Major: International relations
What I Learned
The value of Rollins relationships cannot be overstated. Most students don’t want to take advice from parents. To have a trusted adult means a lot, though. Even here in New York, I’ve seen how Rollins alumni go above and beyond to help each other. The formalized mentoring program makes it easier to establish those bonds. I’m more hopeful for the future. I truly believe Isaac will lead a country someday—if that’s what he wants to do. To see what he’s overcome, his resilience, and to have no bitterness, it makes me want to approach life with grace and authenticity. There are others like him. They just need someone to create space for them to advocate for themselves. Students need to enjoy being 20 years old. It’s good to have goals, but motivated people like Isaac also need to slow down. Go to movies. Play intramural sports. Take classes just because they sound interesting. Don’t rush your pursuit.
The Global Citizens This might sound familiar to seniors nearing the finish line. Kat Weiss ’18 thought she kinda, maybe knew what she wanted to do after graduation in spring 2018. During her time at Rollins, Weiss had studied community development in Tanzania and tutored students in Botswana. “But I wasn’t sure what step to take next,” says Weiss. She’d thought about the Peace Corps but wanted to talk with someone who had walked a similar path as hers. Enter Chris Robinson ’07. His transition from Rollins to the world a decade earlier had born an uncanny resemblance to Weiss’ present course. He would provide real-life perspective (and contacts).
The Mentor: Chris Robinson ’07
The Mentee: Kat Weiss ’18
It expanded both of our networks. Over the years, I’ve learned that relationships are capital. It made sense to share that capital with Kat, which makes our network of colleagues wider and stronger. And hey, you never know where she’ll be in five years. Maybe we’ll help each other down the road.
Former captain of Rollins soccer team joined the Peace Corps as a teacher in Madagascar Major: International relations
What I Learned
Getting honest answers. Chris said he wasn’t sure about what to do after graduating either. So he told me everything he wished he’d known back then. He could have said, “Yeah, you should apply for the Peace Corps.” But instead he admitted it isn’t for everyone. He flat-out said, “Don’t go if your purpose is to escape or to feel good about what you’re doing.” His honesty was a turning point for me. The value of a network. Chris knew that his service as a male in Jamaica was different than mine would be as a female teaching in Madagascar. So he put me in touch with former Peace Corps volunteers, including women. If it hadn’t been for his network, I’m not sure all of my questions would have been answered. Seeing into the future. I have a good idea of the types of opportunities that are available after serving in the Peace Corps. Being able to see that far down the road has eased a lot of my uncertainties.
Information technology consultant in Washington, D.C. and former Peace Corps community development specialist Major: Psychology
What I Learned
Getting out of the daily grind. We all run the risk of falling into a groove and becoming micro-focused on our work. For me, it was healthy to get into another person’s mindset, to see the world through Kat’s eyes. The bigger picture is easy to miss in our day-to-day work.
The satisfaction of helping someone. My career path was unclear when I graduated, so I could relate to the thoughts Kat was combing through. Opportunities might not be handed to you, so you need more than a degree. I’d like to think I would have used a mentoring program like this if it had been available when I was at Rollins.

Mariam Tab rez ’18
The Fashionable Defenders Really, what are the chances? Mariam Tabrez ’18, a soon-to-be Rollins graduate, says in her Career Champions application that she wants to follow up her political science and psychology studies by going to law school in New York. What kind of law? That’s anybody’s guess. It just so happens that a Rollins graduate, George Sciarrino ’07, is a member of the New York City Bar Fashion Law Committee. Even he admits, “Rollins is known for a lot of great things, but fashion law in New York City isn’t the first one that comes to mind.” Thanks to his guidance, and the matchmaking of Career Champions, that might be about to change.
The Mentee: Mariam Tabrez ’18
Earned a full scholarship to New York Law School with plans to pursue fashion law Majors: Political science and psychology
What I Learned
I found a focus. I had questions about law school, but no one close to me could answer them. In fact, before I was paired with George, I’d never mentioned fashion law as a specific interest. If it hadn’t been for him, I’d be a law student with vague plans—and I don’t like vague plans. You never know where a little direction will lead. George suggested I read a specific book, and I referenced that book when I wrote my personal statement in applying to law school. I’m sure it was a significant factor in earning the scholarship from New York Law School.
It’s worth the time. My senior year was so busy that I wasn’t inclined to reach out and make something happen with an alumni group. It would have seemed like a shot in the dark. The Career Champions Mentor Program made the connection for me, and it’s a connection that got me excited about my future.
The Mentor: George Sciarrino ’07
Completed post-grad studies at Parsons School of Design, worked as a design assistant, and then went to New York Law School with focus on intellectual property law Major: Theater
What I Learned
The reward of paying it forward. When I graduated from Rollins, I didn’t know about the niche practice of fashion law. And I never would have known about it had it not been for the mentoring of a professor in law school who had gone to Parsons like me. I enjoyed sharing that same kind of guidance with Mariam. It doesn’t take much to make a big difference. We might shy away from getting involved because of the time required or thinking we don’t have much to offer. But the impact of a mentor far surpasses whatever you think you can put into it. The strength of the Rollins community. This program reminded me of orientation before my freshman year, when everyone was so welcoming and available with materials to help me excel. The same kind of personal commitment and relational focus transcends beyond the campus. I’m proud to say I went to Rollins.

CHAMPION Rollins alumni have more avenues than ever before to share their expertise and prepare students for post-graduate success. The success of Career Champions this past spring has not only solidified that program’s permanent place, but it has also spawned a number of additional initiatives aimed at forging powerful alumni-student partnerships. The Center for Career & Life Planning (CCLP) has already launched the Chat with a Champ program, which allows alumni to share industry insights and career expertise with students through “flash mentoring.” These brief interactions facilitated through panels, networking events, and informational interviews create the potential for lasting professional connections. CCLP will also pilot a Day with a Champ shadowing program this year and will unveil a Champion in Residence program in the renovated Mills Memorial Center next fall.

Underwater Overseer How one Rollins field study set in motion a life and career dedicated to preserving the ocean and its diverse comingling of creatures. It was on environmental studies professor Barry Allen’s field study to Costa Rica in summer 2002 that Angelo Villagomez ’04 started to understand what he’d been learning about in all those science classes. The transfer student came to Rollins for a second bachelor’s degree in environmental studies (his first is in biology from the University of Richmond) because his interest in the environment shifted from wanting to know how it worked to understanding the need to protect what remained. “Rollins was teaching interdisciplinary approaches to the environment before it became a buzzword in the wider conservation community,” says Villagomez. “The education I got at Rollins went beyond theory; it taught me how to apply it.” Villagomez’s laser-focused look at conservation efforts in Costa Rica showed him firsthand about the importance of local people in preserving natural resources. It also showed him that the burden of environmental destruction is rarely carried by the people who benefit. Allen introduced him to farmers, environmentalists, business owners, and local officials all trying to work together to develop their economy without having to destroy their natural resources. And so the first waypoint was set on his course to protecting something bigger than himself: The way you approach conservation is as important as the outcome you seek. After graduating from Rollins, Villagomez worked for the League of Conservation Voters—where he interned as an undergrad—and served as volunteer coordinator during the 2004 presidential campaign. Like a painter who finally masters his technique, Villagomez honed his passion for mobilizing people and took it straight back to the source, his homeland of Saipan in the Mariana Islands. Here, his focus on ocean and shark conservation developed
30 | Fall 2018
as he helped create the environmental coalition Beautify CNMI!, worked on coral-reef outreach projects for the Marianas Resource Conservation & Development Council, and eventually served as executive director of the Mariana Islands Nature Alliance. “We’re devastating our oceans,” says Villagomez. “Fishing boats have the ability to fish in every corner of the world and at every depth, and plastic, chemicals, and other trash have been found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench—a place visited only by three humans in the history of the planet. We’re losing our biodiversity at an alarming rate, and there’s no room for compromise on the small areas we’re trying to protect.” True to his word, the Rollins 2018 Alumni Achievement Award winner has refused to give an inch—or in this case, a drop. For the past 11 years, he has served as an officer of the Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington, D.C., supporting the Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy Project and working across campaigns to integrate scientific research and culture into messaging and communications. His efforts have included working with a group of Yale grad students to create Shark Stanley, a character used to advocate for shark protection, and navigating bureaucracy to secure the passage of Hawaii’s Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, the largest fully protected conservation area in the U.S. Each day, Villagomez uses ideas and approaches that he learned at Rollins and in that Costa Rican rainforest in his meaningful work. For this fierce protector of oceans, lifelong Red Sox fan, grassroots organizer, and mediocre ukulele player, the hands-on learning he received at Rollins has made him a hands-on changemaker in the real world.

Great at Good A dozen reasons why Rollins is one of the best colleges in the country at preparing students to lead positive change in the world. This fall, Rollins became one of the first colleges in the world to launch a major in social innovation. The interdisciplinary degree program equips students to seek out and address societal problems in creative, systemic, and sustainable ways and prepares graduates to thrive in fields like public policy advocacy, nonprofit leadership, and community organizing. It’s a fresh example of the College’s commitment to preparing Rollins students to lead lasting change in communities in our backyard and around the world, and the latest in
a long line of innovative initiatives that have placed Rollins firmly on the forefront of changemaking. The advent of the new major prompted us to take stock of the College’s social innovation, social entrepreneurship, and community engagement credentials. From elite accreditation and exclusive designations to the superlative success of our students on the world stage, we discovered a changemaking resume that stacks up to any college in the country.
A Campus Committed to Change Seeds of Service In the 13 years since Rollins founded SPARC Day, nearly 9,000 Tars have contributed more than 36,000 hours of service to an average of 24 community organizations each year. Anyone who has participated in the annual day of service knows that the event’s impact stretches well beyond what numbers alone could ever indicate. Each year, SPARC Day plants the seeds of service in the hearts and minds of a new generation of Rollins students, giving them a small taste of what can happen when they put their ideas to work in the world—all before they ever set foot in a classroom.
32 | Fall 2018
Back in 2012, the College’s social innovation ecosystem and pioneering business culture received the largest possible vote of confidence. Rollins became the first liberal arts college in the South and the first college in Florida to earn Ashoka U’s Changemaker Campus designation, which is awarded to institutions that are dedicated to making higher education the next global driver of social change. Rollins joined the likes of Cornell, Duke, and Johns Hopkins as one of the first 15 colleges in the country to earn the elite designation from Ashoka U, the world’s leading network of social entrepreneurs. Ashoka U renewed the College’s Changemaker Campus designation in 2016, reaffirming Rollins’ place on the cutting edge of social innovation and changemaking.
Business Not as Usual Rollins’ social entrepreneurship degree program is the first of its kind to earn accreditation from AACSB International, the premier evaluator of quality business programs for more than a century. Yes, you heard that right. Not Harvard or Oxford, MIT or Penn. Rollins is leading the way in this new breed of business degree. Founded in 2013, the social entrepreneurship major combines entrepreneurial thinking and action, cutting-edge problem-solving techniques, and best practices from business skill sets. Graduates from the program are well positioned to find—or create—careers that apply innovative and sustainable solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.

A Winning Idea
Solutions Central
Accelerating Impact
This past spring, Nikki Hall-Elser ’18, Matias Meirelles Van Vliet ’19, Dayra Diaz-Marquez ’18, and Kinsley Gerks ’20 bested teams from nearly 50 international institutions, including Yale, Cornell, Brown, and UC Berkeley, to win the San Francisco regional of the 2018 Hult Prize. Known as the Nobel Prize for students, the Hult Prize is the world’s largest engine for launching for-good, for-profit startups that emerge from universities. The quartet of social entrepreneurship majors was one of 50 teams worldwide to advance to the Hult Prize startup accelerator, where they spent eight weeks in a London castle developing their sustainable-power enterprise with the support of the world’s top entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders. Now, their social enterprise, BatterEASE, is working to bring sustainable energy to the 2.2 billion people who live without reliable access to power while also keeping electronic waste out of landfills.
Rollins students looking to channel their passion for social change into solutionoriented action need not cross the Atlantic like Team BatterEASE—a short stroll across campus will suffice. Launched in 2010 by the Crummer Graduate School of Business’ Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, the Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship Hub has evolved into Rollins’ on-campus incubator for changemaking. Led by fulltime staff director Patrick Odoyo and faculty director Dan Chong, the Hub provides Rollins students, faculty, and staff with tools and resources to address local and global social issues with big, innovative, system-changing solutions. Next fall, the Hub will be a key tenant of the renovated Mills Memorial Center, where it will share a floor with several like-minded programs such as the Center for Leadership & Community Engagement, the Social Entrepreneurship Program, and the student-run Sustainability Program.
A year ago, Rollins helped launch Rally, Central Florida’s social enterprise accelerator, with the goal of establishing Orlando as a national hub for social innovation and entrepreneurship. The accelerator, which is housed on Rollins’ campus, is well on its way, having nurtured more than a dozen local ventures in its first 12 months. Rally provides an immersive 16-week mentorship experience designed to help the region’s most promising social enterprises and founders turn their visions into sustainable ventures. Thanks to founding partners Central Florida Foundation, Clean the World, Downtown Credo, Entrepreneurs in Action, and Rollins—a who’s who of the local social enterprise ecosystem—Rally is one of the nation’s few accelerators that can provide the education, mentorship, resources, networking, and funding to help early-stage social entrepreneurs develop their ideas and launch ventures that make a difference.

Being a Good Neighbor (and Getting Credit for It) This fall, students in theater professor Marianna DiQuattro’s Create With Me course are examining the growing field of drama therapy while co-creating theater with a group of individuals with disabilities from Opportunity, Community, Ability (OCA), an Orlando nonprofit that serves children and adults with special needs. Meanwhile, students in communications professor Ted Gournelos’ New Media and Public Relations class are creating strategic digital materials to help increase engagement with a pair of local nonprofits that are dedicated to fighting hunger and empowering children through 3-D-printed prosthetics. Each semester, Rollins offers dozens of community engagement courses like these, partnering Rollins students with some of Orlando’s most innovative organizations and helping Tars apply what they’re learning in the classroom to make a difference right in our backyard.

Going All In From addressing access to safe drinking water in the Dominican Republic to helping preserve one of America’s most dramatic landscapes, Rollins’ Immersion experiences allow students to engage some of the world’s most pressing issues through weekend and sometimes weeklong journeys of education, reflection, and action. These transformative trips have become bucket-list experiences for Tars, which is a big reason why the College has ranked No. 1 nationally for the highest percentage of students who participate in alternative breaks for four of the past six years. During the 2017–18 academic year, the College organized 22 Immersion experiences in which 331 Tars contributed more than 3,800 hours of service at more than 45 community organizations and nonprofits. From Apopka, Florida, to Portland, Oregon, students tackled a range of complicated issues like homelessness, immigration, poverty, minority rights, and environmental preservation.
Learning to Lead During her first year at Rollins, studio art major Meredith Ewen ’19 developed an immersive art program for an Orlando nonprofit that serves children and adults with special needs. A year later, computer science major Sam Sadeh ’18 founded an after-school coding program for students in local Title I schools that earned funding from Google. Both Ewen and Sadeh learned how to lead powerful change in their community through Rollins’ Bonner Leaders Program, a four-year community service opportunity administered through the Center for Leadership & Community Engagement to provide scholarships and enrichment to students passionate about volunteering.
Squad Goals This fall, a cohort of 15 Rollins students is working to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through a prestigious leadership development program called the Millennium Fellowship. Students from 285 campuses across 57 nations applied to the highly selective fellowship, which was launched this year by the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) initiative and the Millennium Campus Network (MCN). Rollins was one of just 30 colleges worldwide selected to host the global pilot program. From reducing hunger and inequality to increasing access to quality education and clean water, Rollins’ Millennium Fellows are tackling more than half of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals that were adopted in 2015 to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.
Electoral Prowess
Sustainable Success Over the years, Rollins’ student-run Sustainability Program has spearheaded everything from the College’s Fair Tradecampus designation and bike-share program to an urban farm that supplies fresh, organic produce to campus dining services. Expect that already impressive impact to grow. In the renovated Mills Memorial Center, these environmental entrepreneurs will have a dedicated workspace to dream up new and better ways to help save the planet.
While Rollins’ resume is packed with cutting-edge changemaking credentials, the College is also uncommonly good at engaging students in one of the more traditional means of effecting change: voting. This past August for the second consecutive year, Rollins was named a voter-friendly campus by a pair of national nonpartisan organizations, the Campus Vote Project and Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. Rollins was one of just 150 campuses nationwide to receive the designation. Members of Rollins’ student-led Democracy Project create a comprehensive, strategic road map to engage students in the electoral process, from monthly voter-registration drives to hosting debates between local candidates to providing transportation to the polls.

The Art of Activism Grace Loescher ’14 is combining her arts and theater background with a passion for social justice to impact the lives of young people in Sacramento. Midway through her senior year, Grace Loescher ’14 was grappling with a question every studio art major confronts before graduation: What would she create for her culminating art piece? A fan of collaborative, participatory art, Loescher found inspiration volunteering with the Zebra Coalition, a local network of organizations that provide services to LGBTQ+ and all young people, including those facing homelessness, bullying, addiction, abuse, and other challenges. “I asked them if I could start an arts expression group to work through things like identity issues and religion,” she says. “We were all learning and growing so much from each other. I became way more interested in the relationships than the physical creation of the art—and at that point I decided I wanted to do social, community-based work.” Today, Loescher is the program director at Waking the Village, a Sacramento nonprofit dedicated to ending youth homelessness. In that capacity, she founded The Creation District, a “safe haven for creation, discovery, activism, daring, and dream-making for Sacramento’s youth and young adults.” Two of her favorite projects are Street ARTreach, a pop-up studio art program housed in a remodeled moving van, and Creation District Records, which helps young people record and promote their music online. On the side, Loescher teaches art and theater to high school students from underserved communities through a program called College Track. And at night you might find her hosting Speak Out Sacramento openmic sessions, putting on highly attended “Backyard Broadway” plays like Hamilton and Rent, mastering new musical instruments, or sleeping outside City Hall to protest homeless ordinances. For her extraordinary professional accomplishments, Rollins recently presented Loescher with its 2018 Young Alumni Achievement Award. The child of reporters who worked at the Orlando Sentinel before moving into political speechwriting (mom) and defense consulting (dad), Loescher became enamored by writing and poetry while growing up in Arlington, Virginia. Taking after her luthier father, Michael Loescher ’72, Grace always loved putting things together, once turning her backyard

into a miniature golf course. Her parents, she says, were “creative, hardworking people who followed their dreams … the coolest people in the world.” Ever since Loescher was little, she dreamed of attending Rollins, the same school where her dad earned a degree in biochemistry. As a Tar, Loescher rowed crew for a year, wrote for The Sandspur, led independent Bible studies, lived in Pinehurst Cottage, and, paying tribute to Harry Potter, played quidditch. A theater minor, she wrote and acted in an improvised play called Lost Comedies of William Shakespeare. Oh, and that elusive culminating art piece? The one Loescher was fretting over as a senior? True to her collaborative, participatory style, she wound up creating a giant confessional booth where people could “come in and write their confessions or sins.” “Rollins gave me the opportunity to try a little bit of everything, and that’s helped me in my current work,” she says. “I’m really hungry for nuggets of knowledge. Even if I learn just one sentence in French or one riff on the drums, that’s really valuable to me.” Skills honed in the theater have proven especially relevant at The Creation District. “I start every single lesson with an improv exercise,” says Loescher. “I have a whole workshop about how improv relates to life—about listening and having each other’s backs. Other times, we might learn about the American Revolution through theater or finances by producing a show.” Looking back on her childhood, as well as her time at Rollins, Loescher knows she was fortunate to be able to play a piano, pick up a paintbrush, or act in a play. Now, her mission in life is to bring that same joy to others, particularly those who are hurting or economically disadvantaged. “I truly believe everyone is an artist,” she says, “and I feel driven by this motivation to arm people with paintbrushes and pens so they can go and create something amazing. Giving someone the tools to create something out of all the destruction in the world is the best way we can raise the next generation of activists and young people.”

Music Lessons
Computer science professor Dan Myers’ penchant for music has played an instrumental role in his development as both a scientist and a teacher. Before there was Dan Myers, PhD and associate professor of computer science, there was Dan Myers, lover of all things music, especially traditional country music. He learned to play the cello in 6th grade in the school orchestra in his hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee. He picked up the guitar a few years later, and the awardwinning flatpicking guitarist hasn’t stopped strumming since. “Music led me to computer science,” says Myers. “In the late ’90s, I really started getting interested in the intersection of music and technology. Electronic music was gaining popularity, so I was experimenting a lot with blending classical styles with acoustic guitar and electronic rhythms via shareware programs.” For a short time, Myers set his sights on audio engineering but instead zeroed in on the computer engineering program at the University of Florida, where he continued exploring the interplay of music and technology by studying topics like architectural acoustics. After getting
his undergrad and master’s in five years, he headed west for a stint as a software engineer at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before getting his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where his dissertation focused on performance analysis and queueing theory. “I like computer science because it’s a science, but it’s also creative,” says Myers. “Every time you sit down to write a program, you’re expressing yourself creatively through the medium of writing code. I love giving my students free rein to really jam with the computer.” While pursuing his PhD, Myers answered a graduate-student Listserv email advertising a summer job teaching computer science courses to high school students through a program with the Wisconsin Center for Academically Talented Youth. Here, while teaching kids how to write basic programs and games, he realized that his ultimate calling was to help mold young minds and hearts in pursuit of their dreams.

When deciding where to land after grad school, Rollins checked all the boxes: undergraduate research, small classes, supportive colleagues … and of course, 65-degree days during winter instead of -14-degree ones in Madison. Myers has been at the College since 2014 and has quickly garnered the respect of his students and fellow faculty. “Dr. Myers has two specialties: computer performance modeling and dad jokes,” says computer science major Carmen Cheng ’18, who recently started an engineering position at Apple that she credits Myers for making possible. “Dr. Myers is a very accomplished academic, but he’s also an incredibly funny and approachable guy who welcomes all ideas.” Myers encourages his students to develop all their interests, even if they seem disparate, because part of becoming a global citizen and responsible leader is taking that proverbial road less traveled. He helped Sam Sadeh ’18 leverage his love of technology and passion for service to found an after-school coding program that earned a grant from Google, and Myers and Cheng’s mutual love of the guitar led to a Student-Faculty Collaborative Research project investigating what acoustical features of a song make it a hit. Trying to get beyond the mentality of the computer as a black box fuels everything Myers does both inside the classroom and out.
Seeing the Big Picture
Myers wants his students to understand that computers are things that people have made and that we control them, and he wants his students to have fun. Rather than overwhelm students with giant blocks of information on a PowerPoint, he instead focuses on asking important questions, engaging dialogue, and teaching the history of how we got to a certain point in the subject matter at hand. Using tubs of peanut butter and marshmallow fluff to explain systems concepts doesn’t hurt either. “I’ve had Dr. Myers as a professor every semester since spring of my freshman year,” says
computer science major Jaime Becker ’19. “I’ve loved every class I’ve had with him because he is so knowledgeable and can make the most boring topics exciting. I had no interest in networks, but after a typical Myers lecture, networks became fascinating.”
Committed to Community Myers is a big fan of his project-based classes that take him and his students out into the community to solve real problems. In fall 2017, he partnered with the Hannibal Square Heritage Center to develop a walking-tour app for Hannibal Square, a historic African-American neighborhood located a mile from campus. This year he’s planning to collaborate with social entrepreneurship professor Josephine Balzac-Arroyo on a project for Fleet Farming, an urban farming program developed by local nonprofit Ideas For Us to transform residential lawns into organic microfarms. The program has recently expanded to the Parramore neighborhood in downtown Orlando and is looking to improve its operations in terms of data management and analytics.
Striking a Chord A family man at his core, Myers sees the whole of his students just as he does his own three children and is deeply invested in helping them find their way. It’s this personal connection that resonates most deeply with his students. He focuses on the soft skills—things like critical thinking, deferring gratification, discipline, communication—just as intently as the hard ones like programming languages and data structures. “Dr. Myers not only taught me about computer architecture, artificial intelligence, and security, but he helped me navigate my career path through conversations, advice, and letters of recommendation,” says Alexandra DeLucia ’18. “I’m currently a researcher at Los Alamos National Lab, and knowing Dr. Myers’ path to his current position, which included getting some work experience before pursuing a PhD, helped me with my decision.”
“
Dr. Myers has two specialties: computer performance modeling and dad jokes.

Making Tomorrow 2017–18 Philanthropy at Rollins
T
his past August, more than 500 first-year students huddled in a dimly lit Knowles Memorial Chapel on the eve of their very first class at Rollins College. Each of them clutched a small, white candle. A single flame was lit and then shared from student to student until the darkness of the chapel was overtaken by light. You’re likely familiar with Candlewish, this decades-old tradition and brilliant introduction to the Rollins motto, Fiat Lux. In fact, you probably stood in the very same chapel the night before your very first college course, lifting a candle and signifying your commitment to the transformative power of a Rollins education. If your name appears on the following pages, you were there this year too, though you might not have realized it. Each gift to the College is a flame that illuminates the lives of our students, and its impact shines far beyond the hallowed grounds of the chapel. With every enlightening class discussion, every novel lab experiment, every boundary-breaking performance, that flame grows stronger. With every challenging campus conversation, every life lesson learned, the flame grows more resilient. Then, much like during Candlewish, that flame is shared. Every day, Rollins students carry the flame beyond the confines of campus, illuminating communities in our backyard and around the world. The flame takes many forms. It’s the coding program founded by Sam Sadeh ’18 that’s giving underprivileged fourth-graders the tools to write a better future. It’s the more than 20,000 lifesaving water filtration systems that professor Pedro Bernal and his students have installed throughout the Dominican Republic. It’s the nanoparticle research conducted by Julian Grundler ’18 and professor Ellane Park that one day could improve the effectiveness of cancer medicine. Throughout this report, you’ll discover more examples of how your gifts are shining brightly in the lives of our students. You’ll see how your gifts are helping Rollins prepare the next generation of leaders to light the way for real change in communities across the globe. Like Candlewish, it’s a reminder that we can accomplish great things through our shared commitment to Rollins and each other. It’s a celebration of the knowledge that when we work together we make the world brighter.
Skylar Knight ’19, a recipient of Rollins’ Crain Political Science Scholarship, has demonstrated his commitment to leading social change ever since he set foot on campus. Find out how the 2018 Newman Civic Fellow is using your gifts to light a brighter tomorrow in our community on page 51.

Making Tomorrow Brighter
A Voice for the Voiceless This past spring, Skylar Knight ’19 was named a 2018 Newman Civic Fellow by Campus Compact, a national coalition of more than 1,000 colleges and universities committed to building democracy through civic education and community development. The prestigious fellowship recognizes and supports students who are leading solutions to challenges facing communities across the country. Knight has demonstrated his commitment to leading social change from the moment he set foot on campus. In fact, it’s a big reason why Knight came to Rollins in the first place. The philosophy and political science double major is a recipient of Rollins’ Crain Political Science Scholarship, which is awarded to students who have shown outstanding leadership potential and strong moral values. Knight has more than delivered on that promise during his first three years at Rollins. As a member of the College’s Bonner Leaders Program, Knight has spearheaded service projects that have included working with children with motor disabilities at the
Conductive Education Center of Orlando and coaching football to young adults with intellectual disabilities at the Special Olympics. Now, as student coordinator of the Democracy Project, Knight is helping give Rollins students an informed voice and providing them with educational platforms to openly discuss contemporary issues. “Having faced overwhelming adversity throughout my life, I have made it my personal mission to create positive change by advocating for oft-invisible communities that do not always have a voice,” says Knight, whose ultimate goal is to work with a supranational organization like the EU or U.N. that allows him to combine his interest in politics, love of travel, and passion for service. “I plan to utilize my story as a means by which I can promote diverse and inclusive leadership in hopes that others with their own impediments—whether it’s disabilities, refugee status, poverty, voter disenfranchisement—are driven to succeed, initiate change, and accomplish the unthinkable.”

Making Tomorrow Brighter
Empowering Students to Change the World In 2007, Micki Meyer, then the director of community engagement at Rollins, began championing a new program that would take students beyond the confines of campus and engage them in weekend and sometimes weeklong community engagement experiences. Few believed the idea would take root at Rollins. Fortunately, David H. Lord ’69 ’71MBA ’16H was convinced it would. The Rollins trustee provided three years of seed funding to launch Rollins’ Immersion: Citizens Take Action Program. A little more than a decade later, the College’s Immersion program has emerged as a national model for civic engagement in higher education. In August, Rollins was ranked No. 1 in the nation for the highest percentage of students who participate in alternative breaks. It marked the sixth consecutive year that Rollins has ranked in the top five in the country for this community engagement metric and the fourth time the College has claimed the top spot. During the 2017–18 academic year, Rollins organized 22 Immersion experiences in which Tars contributed more than 3,800 hours of service at more than 45 community organizations and nonprofits. From Apopka, Florida, to Portland, Oregon, students tackled some of today’s most pressing issues, including homelessness, immigration, poverty, minority rights, and environmental preservation. The Immersion program is just one item in an ever-growing list of community engagement opportunities that Lord and his family’s foundation, the Rhoda Newberry Reed (RNR) Foundation, have made possible. In 2012, gifts from Lord and the RNR Foundation established an endowed position—Lord Family Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, Community—to lead all aspects of
Rollins’ community engagement infrastructure. Meyer has held the position since its inception. “It’s an incredible opportunity to get to do this work in the name of a family who I believe is modeling the way and putting their ideas into practice,” says Meyer. “Their support has changed the face of our work in community engagement in every way.” Most recently, Lord and the RNR Foundation created the RNR Fellowship, a funded internship program that allows students to gain professional experience in the nonprofit sector at a trio of Michigan community organizations, the Global Livingston Group in Uganda, and Rollins’ Center for Leadership & Community Engagement. This past summer, the program empowered Anna Baumm ’20 and Lindsay Van Beck ’19 to help launch a recycling center in Uganda, Carla Daza ’20 to support middle- and highschool girls in becoming first-generation college graduates, and Meredith Egan ’20 to help coordinate the College’s 14th annual SPARC Day of Service. Their considerable accomplishments represent just a small fraction of the impact that Rollins students were able to create this year thanks to the support of Lord and the RNR Foundation. “David is a beacon of the Rollins mission,” says Mamta Accapadi, vice president for student affairs. “His legacy is measured not only in how he has transformed the lives of students at Rollins, but also in how those students go on to transform their own communities. His legacy is the life that he has always lived—bringing his light to the changemaking work we strive to do on campus through his teaching, service, and philanthropy.”

Making Tomorrow Brighter
A Family Affair
When Harvey L. Massey created the guiding philosophy for Massey Services in 1991, he included a commitment to community among the pest prevention company’s core beliefs. As the business grew from four service centers in Florida to more than 150 across seven states, so did Massey and his family’s dedication to serving the community. Over the past three decades, Rollins and its students have been among the beneficiaries of their widespread philanthropic efforts and leadership. Massey has served on the President’s Leadership Council and the Crummer Corporate Council and as the board chairman of the College’s Center for Advanced Leadership. His daughter, Andrea Massey-Farrell ’98, president and CEO of the Harvey & Carol Massey Foundation, serves on the Hamilton Holt School Advisory Board, and several more members of Massey’s senior leadership who graduated from Rollins’ Crummer Graduate School of Business frequently volunteer their time and expertise as panelists and speakers in Rollins classrooms.
Over the years, Massey Services, Massey Communications, and the family foundation have given generously to support a range of Rollins endeavors, from preparing the next generation of entrepreneurs at the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship to supporting tomorrow’s stars through a renovation of the Keene Music Building. The family has also been among the most ardent supporters of Rollins’ Hamilton Holt School through its consistent and generous contributions to Starry, Starry Night, Holt’s annual scholarship benefit, which has raised nearly $3 million since 1997 for students who demonstrate financial need and high academic achievement. “It is important to us as an organization to provide opportunities and resources to continue to support our communities,” says Massey-Farrell. “We believe a well-rounded educational program like Rollins creates leaders who give back to their communities.”
“Thanks to the generosity of donors, such as the Massey family, students like me have the financial support to pursue our dreams. Their care and compassion allows us to focus on our educational trajectory and explore opportunities with meaningful purpose.”

Making Tomorrow Brighter
Growing Our Global Vision In 2015, Nancy Siebens Binz ’55 endowed a new faculty chair to help inspire Rollins students to develop a passion for learning and exploring the world. This past August, the Nancy Siebens Binz ’55 Chair in World Studies found the perfect first appointee. Professor of International Business Jim Johnson has been helping the College prepare students for global citizenship since he started teaching at the Crummer Graduate School of Business in 2002. Throughout his tenure at Rollins, Johnson has traveled overseas with Crummer students three to four times every year, either leading an international business experience class or working on a global consulting project with a small team of five to six students. In fact, after 15 years at Rollins, Johnson’s global experience encompasses
much of the world. In that time, he’s led more than 50 student trips throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The London native also serves as the Crummer liaison for the College’s academic partners in the U.K., France, and Italy, and has led two groups of Rollins faculty and staff on internationalization programs in the Czech Republic in 2007 and in South Africa in 2017. As the Nancy Siebens Binz ’55 Chair in World Studies, Johnson will co-chair the college-wide Global Initiatives Committee, which is charged with establishing a strategic vision for the future of Rollins’ international initiatives. He’ll also serve as faculty coordinator for the College’s Center for Global Initiatives, working closely with the center’s director.

Making Tomorrow Brighter
Modeling Leadership Dr. Michael and Wendy Henner P’17 P’20’s philanthropy has always been driven by passion. The Winter Park couple has focused their support on organizations and causes with whose missions they feel a deep connection. Avid art collectors, the Henners were initially inspired by the College’s commitment to culture in their local community. But when their children—first Drew ’17 and then Sophie ’20—matriculated at Rollins, the couple’s connection to the College and its mission grew—so has their support. Today, the Henners serve on the executive committee of the Rollins Parents Council, a leadership group that supports the College’s goal of providing the finest liberal arts education to promising students. We recently caught up with the Henners to learn more about their commitment to Rollins and its mission.
one mechanism of getting a more in-depth vision of what President Cornwell and the board have in store for Rollins moving forward. What would you tell fellow Rollins parents who are considering joining the Parents Council? WH: Do it! It’s a wonderful way to stay connected to your children and their experience at Rollins while at the same time enhancing your own connection to the school. As parents of Rollins students, we too have a voice, and there is an inquisitive and caring administration that chooses to listen.
Why do you think it’s important to dedicate your resources to Rollins? WH: We’ve always chosen to support institutions and causes that we are passionate about, rather than giving without regard to purpose and mission. Rollins’ commitment to Winter Park’s cultural community as well as its offerings to the student body represent an outstanding commitment to future generations. How has serving on the Parents Council helped you develop a deeper connection to the College? MH: Once we knew Sophie was going to be part of the Rollins family, we decided it was important to know more about the College and to help contribute to the vision for its future. The Parents Council is Rollins.edu | 67

Grundler Earns NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship
Julian Grundler ’18 was one of just 58 fall-sports student-athletes to win the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. On the soccer field, the goalkeeper played 30 games for the Tars, logging more than 2,600 minutes and racking up 121 saves. In the lab, the chemistry major partnered with professor Ellane Park on cutting-edge cancer research through the StudentFaculty Collaborative Scholarship Program. The pair also participated in a 10-week research program at MIT the summer before Grundler’s senior year. Grundler began a PhD program at Yale University this fall. Rollins.edu | 69

Double Dividends Why making a gift of stock is a smart way to give back.
F
rom the moment I stepped onto campus in the fall of 1966, Rollins has been a major part of my life—and I’ve been fortunate to call Winter Park my home ever since. Today, as chairman and founder of The Keewin Real Property Company, people often ask about the foundation of my business success. The answer always starts with a first-rate education from Rollins and the Crummer Graduate School of Business. And, if you’re like me, giving back is a rewarding way to help Rollins, and its students, thrive for years to come. But what’s the best way to donate? That’s a question I also get from my fellow alumni. Speaking from decades of experience, here’s what I tell them unequivocally: Consider a gift of highly appreciated securities.
Using this approach, you avoid all capital gains taxes on the sale of your securities. Current tax law makes it a no-brainer to
donate publicly traded stock instead of cash. As an example, let’s say you bought $5,000 in stock a few years ago, and now it has doubled in value. If you’re in the highest income tax bracket, selling that stock would create a 20 percent tax on your $5,000 gain (or a $1,000 tax). However, by donating the stock to Rollins (an IRS-recognized charity), you pay nothing in taxes. You also can deduct the stock’s fair market value. Let’s stick with my previous example. The stock you bought for $5,000 has now generated a $10,000 charitable deduction. If you pay 37 percent federal income tax, that translates to another $3,700 in tax savings.
the gift and it only cost me $11,000. In addition, I received a $50,000 tax donation and paid no capital gains tax on the sale of these securities. When considering donating highly appreciated securities to Rollins, work with your stockbroker to determine which investments have the highest appreciated value or gain. Then contact the College’s Office of Advancement Services, whose expert team can guide you through each step of the transaction. Your stockbroker will make a paperless transfer of the securities to the College, which immediately sells the securities and adds the proceeds to its investment portfolio. The gift of highly appreciated securities isn’t the only vehicle for effective charitable giving, but it’s a great one to consider when

Among the many memories shared during lunch was the story of how Bornstein and Peterson Warren first met. The serendipitous meeting occurred during a rafting trip down the Salmon River in 1990. “Making conversation around the campfire, I asked her where she had gone to college,” remembers Bornstein. “When she said Rollins, I couldn’t believe it because I had just been elected president and was planning to assume the position shortly after the trip.”

What I’ve Learned: Campbell Brown ’90 The president of Old Forester is tapping into a rich history as he leads a legendary bourbon brand back to prominence. Tour Old Forester’s new distillery in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, and one thing becomes clear: Campbell Brown ’90 knows the power of a good story. The $45 million distillery takes visitors on an immersive journey through the entire scope of whiskey production—from fermentation and barrel raising to maturation and bottling—and every inch of the 70,000-square-foot facility is laced in lore. Even the distillery’s location—on a famed stretch of Main Street known as Whiskey Row—is a nod to the bourbon brand’s storied past. Brown’s great-great grandfather, George Garvin Brown, introduced Old Forester right here in 1870, and the new distillery occupies the same space where the company was headquartered in the four decades leading up to Prohibition. Over time, George Garvin Brown’s bourbon business grew into distilling giant Brown-Forman, which today counts Jack Daniel’s, Woodford Reserve, and Sonoma-Cutrer among its stable of well-known wines and spirits. Brown has spent the bulk of his career in the family business. Over the past quarter-century, the political science major has helped develop Brown-Forman’s spirits portfolio at home and abroad. In 2015, he was tasked with breathing new life into the company’s original brand, becoming the first family member solely responsible for Old Forester since his great-great grandfather. As he sets about authoring the next chapter in Old Forester’s 148-year story, Brown is embracing the responsibility of living up to a legend and betting that the road to the brand’s renaissance runs through its roots. You learn a lot about a business working in the mailroom. That was my first job at Brown-Forman, a summer internship just before I started Rollins. You get to see a little bit of everything and meet people in different departments and operating groups across the organization. I knew I needed a smaller school. I wasn’t going to thrive on a large campus where you can float through anonymously. I knew I needed some eyeballs on me as I figured out who I was, and Rollins certainly delivered on that. I learned the power of relationships at Rollins, and that helped me when I worked in India, the Philippines, and Turkey. I didn’t know anyone going into those countries, but I was able to engage and interact socially, and I was curious. When you show an interest in people’s lives, their cultures, and their communities, it’s easier to be welcomed in, to be included. I feel a real responsibility to get it right. A lot of people love Old Forester and have for generations—it’s in every back bar in houses
around Louisville. It’s hard for me to talk about the brand and not wonder what my great-great grandfather—whose portrait hangs on a wall across the street—must be thinking. There’s a romance around bourbon, especially around brands that span lifetimes. Not many bourbons have been around for 148 years and survived Prohibition, world wars, and the Great Depression. Not many have this long, five-generation story, and it’s even more powerful when the founding families are still very much involved. My leadership style has changed over time. When you’re younger, you feel like you have to demonstrate leadership at every turn. You don’t listen as much—it’s more about showing you can get things done, setting a good example, and working your hardest. Over time, it’s become a quieter kind of leadership. We’re used to being patient in the bourbon business. We don’t just make a product and sell it. You distill it, put it in a barrel, check in on it every now and then, and after four
years hopefully it tastes delicious and it’s ready to bottle. For me, success is balance—giving enough to your organization and teams while also being a good father and husband. It’s a moving target at all times. The great thing about bourbon is that everyone’s got a taste. Some people like a high-proof product; others want something that’s a little more drinkable. I like an approachable, balanced bourbon where you can taste the sweetness from the corn with some spice from your mash’s rye content. There is a right way to drink bourbon. It’s the way that tastes best to you. For some people, it’s neat. Some like a couple ice cubes. Some like to add Coca-Cola, vermouth, or bitters. Its versatility is amazing. My advice for Rollins students? Don’t be so determined to lose that wide-eyed look and don’t worry so much about figuring out your major in the first six months. Stay curious, stay interested. Also, eat well and enjoy the pool from time to time. Rollins.edu | 83

Return Engagement A decade before Ashley Cannaday ’11 became a Rollins physics professor, she was a Rollins physics major discovering her love of optics through a research partnership with professor Thomas Moore. Cannaday’s passion, which was sparked and fanned through the Student-Faculty Collaborative Scholarship Program, led her to follow in Moore’s footsteps. She earned her PhD at Moore’s alma mater, the University of Rochester, where she focused on biomedical optics. Now she’s passing along her passion to the next generation of Rollins scientists through the very same research program. This past summer, Cannaday partnered with Samuel Hanna ’21 and James Hoelle ’21 to build a customizable angular scattering microscope using off-the-shelf optical components. Their novel technique, which allows them to measure the light scattering from a single cell at a time, could contribute to earlier detection of neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s.
