Keep Exploring

Take a deeper dive into life at Rollins through everything from in-person campus visits and virtual tours to one-on-one chats with our students and admission counselors.

Take your love of service to the next level while also earning course credit through our Immersion program and Community Engagement classes, which are great ways to build experience while serving others and exploring new fields. You’ll get out into the larger community and put what you’re learning into practice—from helping fourthgraders ace their math exams to helping those with autism and other developmental disabilities express themselves through theater.

Go Green

By spearheading efforts like the on-campus urban farm and the bike-share program, the studentrun Sustainability Program has revolutionized environmentally focused practices on campus and has inspired countless students to carry on the legacy of the program as they move into the global workforce.

BE A JOINER

“I see things pertaining to sustainability and the environment differently than I did before college, and that’s because Rollins focuses on finding solutions to these types of issues rather than just identifying problems.”

The Center for Campus Involvement in the Cornell Campus Center facilitates more than 150 student organizations. Whether you’re looking to go Greek, meet students who share a similar cultural identity, or find other Star Wars fans who want to debate the merits of the latest spinoff series, there’s truly something for everyone.

“Having the opportunity to be the Democracy Project student coordinator allowed me to have a hands-on leadership role in increasing the civic engagement of the Rollins community and to engage in active dialogue about the issues that define our lives.”

Share Your Voice

In the basement of Kathleen W. Rollins Hall, the College’s headquarters of applied learning, you can take to the airwaves on WPRK, our very own radio station, or get involved with other campus media outlets like The Sandspur, our student-run newspaper, or The Independent, a student magazine that showcases intersectional art, poetry, and essays from the Rollins community.

“Students explore many broad ideas and philosophies through Student Media , so we get the chance to really learn from each other’s diverse perspectives. Every day I’m developing important skills in leadership, communication, and introspection.”

Shine On Stage

The College’s historic Annie Russell Theatre sets the stage for many student performers to hone their star power. And soon, both theatre and nontheatre majors alike will have the opportunity to cut their teeth in the brand-new Tiedtke Theatre & Dance Center, which will feature a custom-built black box theater, a state-of-the-art dance studio, and a costume design and technology lab.

Open discussion of the material allowed me to learn from diverse perspectives and engage with the course content on a much deeper level. I felt comfortable hearing and sharing personal details because the small class sizes created a space where I came to know and trust my peers and professors.
