real.
ROLLINS IS
It’s hard to believe that a campus this engaged (we are recognized as the number-one most philanthropic college campus in America) can also be this beautiful (ranked among the top 50 most amazing in the country, featuring a lakeside beach and walking path). It seems unbelievable that professors as accomplished as ours (who have penned award-winning novels, recorded tracks for Warner Brothers and received research grants from the National Science Foundation) can also be exceptional teachers. Their students have helped rate them the 8th best faculty in the country. Maybe it’s an oxymoron that a college prestigious enough to have been ranked the number one college in the South by U.S. News & World Report for nine years in a row also has enough of a sense of fun to cancel classes one day each spring for a community picnic.
IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT A COLLEGE THIS RARE, THIS SPECIAL, ACTUALLY EXISTS.
But it does .
ROLLINS IS
real. And it’s perfect for you. It’s the college that will prepare you for life, for your career, for constructive dialogue and for making a difference.

As a result, our graduates experience success in a variety of elds, from hosting children’s television shows to publishing major news magazines and serving as the presidents and CEOs of international corporations. While we are obviously quite proud of their career success, what we are most proud of is that they are people living lives of contribution and purpose.

STUDENT-FACULTY COLLABORATIVE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
THE
empowers our undergraduate students and professors to work closely on research projects that are so high-level, they are typically only undertaken by graduate students.
ow in its second decade, the program has awarded students more than $1.5 million to investigate a range of topics, from the physics of musical instruments to the causes of domestic terrorism. Most projects culminate in a peer-reviewed publication, and many are also presented at national and international conferences. PAST RESEARCH PROJECTS INCLUDE: • NXT Lego® Mindstorms® Simulator • Detection of Buried Landmines by Speckle Imaging • Love and Desire in Exile • Characterization of Exotic Materials Utilizing Ultrasound
A recent project provided Lucas Hernandez ’13 the opportunity to present his work at an international economics conference in Beijing. Working with a team that included assistant professor Tonia Warnecke, he examined female entrepreneurship in China. “From this experience I feel as though my writing and research skills have developed by leaps and bounds,” Hernandez says. “Attending and presenting at an international conference was amazing. I was actually able to converse [with] and present to academics whose papers I had previously read.”

CAREER SERVICES IS HERE FOR YOU! Our office provides support for students and alumni interested in graduate school or career exploration, development, decision-making and self-assessment. We offer career counseling and planning, practice interviews, training on social networking and résuméwriting workshops, among many other services. Visit rollins.edu/careerservices to learn more.
FROM THE GROUND UP, WE ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE YOUR ACADEMIC JOURNEY AS COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE.
hether you’re interested in studying politics in the ofce of a prominent U.S. senator or learning what goes on behind the scenes of an NBA franchise, our Ofce of Career Services can help you nd the internship that’s the right t. Our students participate in paid and unpaid internships, for-credit and not-for-credit, during the academic year and over the summer, in the United States (we offer
more than 450 in Central Florida alone) and overseas. These experiences help students zero in on their ideal career paths, allow them to apply their studies to practical situations and make them more competitive when they apply for jobs and graduate schools. For these and other worthwhile reasons, we encourage all of our students to complete at least two internships before they graduate.
Here are just a few of the hundreds of internships available to Rollins students:

FOX
DAY Fox Day is a Rollins tradition that was started on May 17, 1956, by then President Hugh McKean, who created the holiday in response to students telling him they wanted “to do something as a college.” His solution? One day he put a giant fox statue, long kept in storage, out on the main lawn, canceled classes, and invited everyone to spend the day “doing things as a college.” At the end of the day, he reported that “many students had a new and warm feeling” for Rollins. Last year’s Fox Day featured free pancakes and cappuccino, a giant slip ’n slide and rock-climbing wall on the main lawn, free henna tattoos and caricature art, paddleboarding on the lake, cotton candy, pizza and a big picnic. Visit foxdaycam.com to learn more.
PINEHURST COTTAGE
Pinehurst Cottage is the oldest surviving building on campus, having withstood a fire that, in 1909, destroyed every other structure. In 1985, it was designated a historic landmark by the Winter Park Historic Preservation Committee.

ollins is a highly engaged campus, and we are proud to have that engagement recognized by a numberone ranking from BestCollegesOnline, which names us the most philanthropic college campus in America. Our Ofce of Community Engagement (OCE) coordinates servicelearning courses, community-based research, leadership development, community service, and innovative immersion programs and resources. “As a member of the Rollins Community, you have the opportunity to serve as an agent of change,” says Micki P. Meyer, Assistant Vice President for Community.
Some students choose to take a course with a service-learning or community-based research component, known as CE (Community Engagement) courses. Ian Wallace ’12 believes everyone should take at least one CE course. “Going through those experiences has so much impact on what you’re studying,” he says. “When I’m talking to an artisan in Indonesia, it’s much more enriching than just reading about fair trade in a textbook. I know I can apply what I’m learning to the real world.”

MEET SANJAY RANA. Sanjay ’14 comes to Rollins by way of Kathmandu. He has participated in study-abroad trips to Costa Rica, Japan, Italy and his home country of Nepal. “I really get the Rollins idea of global citizenship,” he says.

I want to help them.” He is now focusing on a career in social entrepreneurship, doing exactly that.

ARTISTS, THOUGHT LEADERS AND INNOVATORS MAKE ROUTINE VISITS TO OUR CAMPUS EVERY YEAR. WHY?
to talk to you.
W
e love having conversations that matter. That’s why our Winter Park Institute (WPI) brings people like Paul Simon, Jane Goodall, Dr. Michio Kaku, Jessye Norman and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to campus each year for public lectures and readings, symposiums, seminars, master classes, interviews and special-interest sessions. We believe that thoughtful exchanges with thoughtful people are critical to the success of any liberal arts education. As Gail D. Sinclair, executive director of the WPI, says, “Such high-level conversations invigorate the intellectual exploration that is a vital part of the Rollins community.” To learn more about the Institute and read about its past speakers, visit rollins.edu/wpi. In his 1930 Nobel Laureate address, Sinclair Lewis said,
“Rollins is one of only four universities that have shown an authentic interest in contemporary creative literature.” That commitment continues today. Winter With the Writers is a prominent piece of our rich literary history. It is a literary arts festival that brings ve of the world’s leading contemporary writers to campus each February for a series of free master classes and public presentations. Past writers include Jamaica Kincaid, Tobias Wolff and Kurt Vonnegut. Visit rollins.edu/winterwiththewriters to learn more.
NO VISIT TO CAMPUS WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SEEING OUR WALK OF FAME, a path lined on either side by stones that were taken from the former residences of famous people and engraved with their names. Equal parts conversationpiece, cultural artifact and source of inspiration, the Walk of Fame was created by Hamilton Holt, our eighth president, who personally collected more than 200 of the stones. It features stones from Abraham Lincoln’s Kentucky home, the courtyard of the Parisian hotel where Oscar Wilde died and the Greek Lyceum where Aristotle once strolled.
