Dear Rollins Alu mni, On behalf of the entire Rollins community, I a m pleased to invite you to return to ca mpus this March for the largest alu mni celebration of the year. This remarkable weekend happens only once a year, but it always leaves a lasting impression—both on those who haven’t been back since graduation and on those who visit our beautiful ca mpus frequently. Reunion represents beloved traditions, lifelong connections and unparalleled pride in our exceptional college. Congratulations to the classes and affinity groups that will celebrate milestone reunions in a few short months. I hope you enjoy this opportunity to revive the extraordinary bonds you have with dear friends, faculty, coaches and staff, and to learn more about Rollins now as you interact with our wonderful students and other community members. You will cherish this occasion for years to come. The Alu mni Relations staff, Reunion volunteers and their ca mpus partners are preparing enthusiastically for your return. They can’t wait to help you and fellow alu mni reconnect with the school you remember fondly and experience Rollins today. We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating with you during Reunion Weekend. 2
