ROLLINS BUCKET LIST: 10 THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU GRADUATE Photos courtesy of Scott Cook Past Rollins seniors were sure to attend theater performances and partake in community service before saying goodbye.
By Ellie Rushing

hough the community as a whole is small, Rollins hosts several opportunities that students are unaware of. To make the most out of your Rollins experience, here are ten must-dos to enhance your time here at Rollins.
1
Visit the Rollins Archives
Hidden in the basement level of the Olin Library, there is a rich collection of historical and cultural artifacts specific to Rollins. Within the quiet walls of the space, you can find rich descriptions of what Rollins was like when it was originally founded in 1885 up until present day. Chat with the archivists, look at an old edition of the yearbook or The Sandspur, and learn something new about your college.
2
Attend a play in the Annie Russell Theatre
Rollins’ Department of Theatre & Dance puts together some amazing shows that you must experience at some point before you graduate. The Annie Russell is the longest continuously operating theater in Florida, and features musicals and plays that spotlight student performers. 9 to 5: The Musical, based on a 1980s movie about friendship, love, and following your dreams, will be playing through the end of April on select dates and times. Who knows, you may even get to sit next to the famous Annie Russell ghost who reportedly lives in the theater.
3
Be present when the Fox comes out on Fox Day
Few things are more satisfying than playing Fox Day roulette, waking up early to check if the fox has made its appearance, and being absolutely right. On a day that you think it could be Fox Day, set your alarm for around 6 a.m. and when it rings, head out to the flagpole. When you see the President bringing out the fox, your day will begin in incredibly exciting fashion. Plus, you get first dibs on the President’s office’s donuts.
4
Attend a Bach Festival Society event
The Bach Festival Society is the third-oldest continuously operating Bach Festival in the United States and performs throughout the year on the Rollins campus in Knowles Memorial Chapel and Teidtke Hall. They perform choral and orchestral performances. The society also hosts various visiting artists throughout the year, with one upcoming show being “African American Masterpieces: Symphonic Spirituals” on April 21 and 22.
5
Sit in the Chapel
Knowles Memorial Chapel is one of the main reasons why the Rollins campus is known for being so beautiful. Its detailed stained glass windows, wood paneling, and spiritual serenity should be witnessed by all Rollins students. Stop by for a mental break between classes, read a book, or just stop and notice the architecture.
6
Go swimming in Lake Virginia
Students joke about it, but few actually hold each other to it. Lake Virginia is a staple to Rollins’ identity and beauty, so grab your friends on the last day of finals and just jump in. It might be a little mucky getting out into the deep end, but, no one said it was the cleanest lake.
7
Go on an immersion
Rollins Immersions take students outside of the community to work on activities and projects in need-based areas. With community service being a central part of Rollins’ mission, every student should experience the feeling of giving back. Plus, you get to meet a ton of new students who share some of the same values as you.
8
Study Abroad
Rollins offers so many outlets to go overseas. If you cannot sacrifice an entire semester abroad, then look into the field
studies offered in the winter and summer, or alternative spring breaks. Consider doing the Verano Español trip to Spain, or go totally out of your comfort zone with a venture to Tanzania. P.S.: You can still attend many of these trips the summer after you graduate!
9
Attend a Winter Park Institute speaker event
Hosting famous names like Paul McCartney and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Winter Park Institute always draws incredible speakers to campus every year. Keep a lookout in your email for upcoming speakers that you will not want to miss learning from.
10
Cheer on the Tars
Across all sports, Rollins Athletics continues to produce some of the best teams in the conference. Grab your friends and make it out to at least one of every sports team’s home games. Rivals like Florida Southern, Saint Leo, and Eckerd always make for great competition!

n an effort to increase student access to high-impact summer internships, needbased funding will be offered by the Center for Career and Life Planning (CLP) for this summer. The program is called the Internship Funding Program and it is run by Liz Bernstein, the assistant director of internship programs, and Norah Perez, director of experiential learning. Bernstein and Perez noticed that on a national level, students who are more affluent get greater access to the high-end internships that future employers will look for when they are hiring. Students who cannot afford those internships are put at a distinct disadvantage. It is important to note that there are limitations to this program. First, the qualifications are
extensive. To apply, students must be a current undergraduate student, have at least 30 semester hours, have secured or be actively pursuing an internship that lasts a minimum of 9 weeks, have their internship approved to receive college credit, and be of good academic standing with Rollins. They must also commit to taking the academic internship course, which has a $500 fee. Second, the fund sets maximum scholarships. The maximum amount that they can offer a student in aid for a local internship is $1,500. For a non-local internship that includes housing, the maximum
“
is $2,500. Finally, the application process for the program is intense. There is an application form along with a budget plan where students will specifically fill out their financial needs, from the $500 dollar internship class fee to housing and gas money if they will not be working locally. “ W e anticipate that we’ll have to make some very difficult decisions,”

said Bernstein. “It’s very likely that not all students who apply will receive funding.” Students will also need to attach their current resume and a one-to-three page statement of purpose that connects this internship to their academic and future career goals. The deadline for all application materials for the Internship Funding Program is Monday, April 23 at 5 p.m. Until now, students looking for affordable internships had been directed to apply for the SHIP grant, which is the Scholarship for High-Impact Practices offered through Student Affairs. This scholarship includes funding for research conferences, service-based trips, and internships. CLP’s new program is specifically for internships and includes more funding. It will also benefit the SHIP grant, since less students will be competing for funding and more help will be available for students not seeking internships. “We believe that this first program will be able to fund anywhere between 10 to 15 students depending on student need,” said Perez. In the decision process, the first thing that will be looked at is the financial need. Those who have a higher need will be prioritized, followed by their reasons for seeking the funding and how it connects to their future goals. Bernstein expressed the office’s excitement to launch the funding and encouraged students to apply. “We know the application process is very rigorous, but we hope that doesn’t scare anybody away.” Students are encouraged to send Bernstein emails with any questions or concerns, and there will be a workshop on Tuesday, April 17 all about finding internships and perfecting resumes. It will be held in Olin Library, room 210, at 12:30 p.m.

Dr. Chambliss’ bittersweet farewell Beloved Rollins professor accepts a unique position at Michigan State University.

A
fter working at Rollins for 15 years, History Professor Dr. Julian Chambliss will leave Rollins for a position at Michigan State University starting in August. Chambliss was offered a very unique opportunity at Michigan State: the duties of a full professor with a joint appointment in English and History. He will also hold a place in the Consortium for the Study of Critical Diversity in a Digital Age. Chambliss first came to Rollins in 2003 as a visiting professor in the Department of History, where he became a tenure-track professor a year later. He has been a valued Professor of History and a Coordinator of the African & African-American Studies program. Specializing in comics, culture, and digital humanities for many years now, some would say that Michigan State University offered the
perfect fit for him. “This was a really hard decision for me,” said Chambliss, “I have deep roots and great affection for Rollins.” His innovative thinking about the digital humanities will be an asset to Michigan State. Chambliss said that his fondest memories at Rollins come from his relationships, both with his students and the other faculty. “My conversations with students and working with them in and out of the classroom have been great,” he said. “My colleagues at Rollins are like my family, so I will miss them more than I can express.” His peers in the Rollins history department are also sad to see him go. “Julian has been an integral part of our department for decades,” said Dr. Claire Strom, professor of history. Strom mentioned that his work has exposed students to new ways of thinking and understanding in their worlds, and that he has consistently shared his knowledge and expertise
with a wide variety of audiences. “On a personal note, Julian is a dear friend, and I will miss his kindness, humor, and irreverence greatly,” said Strom. “One of the best things about Julian is the way he always thinks outside of the box,” said Dr. Hannah Ewing, an assistant professor of history. “A favorite memory was when he led an independent study with a History major to design a text-based online game using local Winter Park history.” Even though she is sad to see him leave, Ewing is excited for his new opportunities. Although his time at Rollins has come to an end, Chambliss stressed how great of a school Rollins is and how dedicated the faculty is to its students. “I leave knowing great things are coming,” he said. “I know the faculty is dedicated to supporting students in their chosen endeavors. I will miss seeing the great things we do every day at Rollins.”
ext week, the Rollins Sustainability program will host their semi-annual Swap and Shop in celebration of Earth Month. This event will combat harmful “fast fashion” trends that result in factory abuse and fuller landfills. The Swap and Shop is just one event in an entire month of celebrating sustainability in topics including farming, electronic waste, food waste, and social movements. On April 19, the Alfond Sports Center will open its doors to students, faculty, and other community members looking to renew their wardrobe. For $5 for students and $10 for faculty and staff, attendees are free to grab as many pieces of clothing as their heart desires or that their arms can carry. In previous years, the Sustainability Program partnered with a local social enterprise, Other People’s Property, to build an inventory of clothes for trading. However, when Other People’s Property stopped operations last year, the event relied solely on donations collected from the Rollins community. Despite this, the duplicate event hosted last fall ran just as smoothly as previous semesters; many students came and left with new pieces for their wardrobes. This event is not only about giving fashionistas of every style an opportunity to revamp their closet, but it is also about combating the environmental and social burdens of the mainstream
“
fashion industry. According to the World Resources Institute, average clothing consumption worldwide has increased by over 60 percent since 2000. The fashion industry has become about quantity rather than quality, with trends of “fast fashion” resulting in horror stories from garment factories abroad. Pushing themselves to meet global demands, garment factories force employees to work long hours for low wages in order to cut costs. They also abuse their work environments in order to reduce their overhead costs. The story does not have a happy ending here in the U.S., either, where 15 million tons of clothing waste are sent to landfills each year after pieces quickly go out of style. It does not have to end here, though. As consumers, we have the power to disrupt this harmful cycle and reject “fast fashion.” A first step towards this goal is giving and getting clothes from thrift stores and clothing swaps like the one being hosted next week. Another option is to host a small swap between you and your friends. The success of next week’s event counts on student and faculty participation. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to take a good look at their closets between now and next Thursday and choose items to donate. By doing so, everyone will have a chance to grab something that they like. Clothing donations should be dropped off in Beal-Maltbie or in the clothing box in Ben and Jerry’s located on Park Avenue before April 18.
As consumers, we have the power to disrupt this harmful cycle and reject “fast fashion.”

he end of the spring semester is a stressful time for everyone. However, the right tools and practices can help you feel more prepared. Use these tools before or during finals week to help you maintain your GPA and your mental health. 1. Get your end-of-semester assignments done early: Whether it is a procrastinated essay or an upcoming project that is not due for a few weeks, finish them as early in the week as possible. This will give you more time to relax later. 2. Organize your dorm: Throw out your trash, sort your clothes, and put your knickknacks and posters away early for easy packing. It is going to be time to move out soon, so the less clutter that you have, the easier it will be to move out when you are done. This also creates a better studying environment! Start to think about where you will store your belongings. Rollins Moving Services? A storage unit? A relative’s house? Be sure to plan ahead. 3. Ask questions: If you do not understand a topic that will be on the final, get it cleared up now. There is nothing worse than being up at 2 a.m. the night before the final, searching Google desperately for concepts that you still do not understand. 4. Perfect your studying technique: If studying is something you struggle with, find what works
5. Check Handshake: Log on to Rollins’ job and internship search website to see what internships you may be able to secure before the end of the semester. Start planning your summer now. 6. Update your resume: You have had another semester of experiences. Make sure your resume is up-to-date and looks presentable. The Center for Career and Life Planning is available to help. 7. Build relationships with your professors: Go out to lunch with your professors, talk about your future goals, and start networking. There is no harm in having a goto contact for opportunities later on! 8. Visit the Wellness Center: Whether the stress has gotten to you, or you just need to take some time to calm down in a stress-free environment, the Wellness Center is a great place to go to seek professional help for your mental health. Even if your stress is not severe, the Wellness Center and CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) have many tips and exercises to help students. Take advantage of their group workshops. You can also find some techniques online. 9. Tutor a student: Remember that you are not the only one struggling right now. If you are able to help another student, you should. Doing good things for others often lowers the stress levels of both parties involved. Teaching concepts also helps secure them in your own mind, which will help you on your exams.

Greenberg’s first textbook analyzes gender, sexuality in religion Professor of Religious Studies publishes first textbook for her Rollins courses.

D
r. Yudit Greenberg is proud to have published her own textbook, The Body in Religion: Cross-Cultural Perspectives. Previously, her class had no textbook, as there was no single work analyzing religions in reference to the human form. At Rollins, Greenberg is a Professor of Religious Studies and the Founding Director of the Jewish Studies program. Greenberg has been teaching a course on the body in religion at Rollins for nearly a decade, yet she never had access to a textbook. Instead, she used primary and secondary sources as texts to give her students. She was approached by Bloomsbury Publishers to write the textbook. The book is intended to be used as a textbook for undergraduate classes studying sociology, anthropology, religion, feminism, gender, and sexuality. It addresses and problematizes the ways in which the human body is imagined and deployed in religions across the globe. There is an emphasis on how mind-body dualism and notions of gender and sexuality have been shaped by religion and culture. The book examines the body in religious myths, disciplines concerning sexual conduct and dietary laws, celebrations of the body from birth to death, and spiritual technologies such as fasting, prayer, yoga, and medi-

It also covers body modifications such as tattoos. Greenberg cites a wide range of religions in her book. Along with the five major religions of the world, she included Jainism, Confucianism, Daoism (also known as Taoism), Shintoism, Paganism, Aboriginal, African, and Native American religions. “I thought it would be a valuable contribution to the academic study of religion, gender, and sexuality,” she said. This was Greenberg’s first
experience writing a textbook. “Any topic examined cross culturally is challenging, and I learned to keep a balance of breadth and depth.” She said, “not being able to include references to my sources was initially very strange, but I gradually got used to it,” she said. Greenberg also struggled initially with how to structure her textbook. Eventually, she decided to use four major categories to sort her topics, which made her feel more comfortable. She
also found help in sharing drafts with her students and friends. By writing this book, Greenberg wanted to make the academic study of religion accessible to a wide audience, and to debunk misconceptions of religion’s primary concern with metaphysics—to demonstrate how important the body is in religious beliefs and practices, and to expose patriarchal structures and values as fundamental in shaping views of gender and sexuality.
“The cross cultural study of the body in religion provides context for exploring existential issues related to religious and gender identity, health, healing, birth, and death,” said Greenberg on the importance of what her textbook teaches. Greenberg invited students to take the textbook’s corresponding class, The Body in Religion, in future semesters.

Opinion: As patience runs thin, prices go up for meal plan In an effort to improve the current system, Rollins makes the already costly meal plans more expensive.
Chicken Shawarma Skewers with Garlic Lime Avocado Tzatziki By Kira Bernhard

M
y fellow students, after many of us constantly expressed our displeasure with the current meal plan system, changes have been announced. I want to clarify something, though: this is still good ol' Rollins, meaning that when things change, prices go up. Make no mistake; the new system will fix several current issues. For one, it will eliminate the need for Campus Center employees to take your R-Card if you leave the cafeteria—I am sure many of you will be glad to put this ridiculous reverse-hallpass business behind you. Instead, the system will enable you to swipe your R-Card to gain access to the Campus Center for a block of time. Effectively, you will be able to swipe in, go to class, and then return to the center without having to swipe
in and pay a second time, if the time block is still in effect. That much is a marked improvement over the status quo. We will be able to come and go from the Campus Center as we need to without forfeiting our food by exiting the hall. We will also, in theory, have access to far more food by having access to far more time. We should also remember that the flaws are the growing pains of a changing system that is trying to cater to our needs. There will naturally be issues to work out, and so we must try to have a certain measure of patience. Of course, having patience will not affect the new prices, which will be significantly high-
“
er as a result of the longer access to the Campus Center. Even the cheapest of the new meal plans costs only about $100 less than the current full meal plan; moreover, it does not offer any off-campus dollars. The other plans all increment in price, with the highest being nearly $500 more expensive. R o l l i n s seems to forget that many students already struggle to meet its tuition costs. Many of us who live on campus only manage to do so thanks to significant financial aid, and many prefer partial meal plans. These also appear to have mysteriously vanished.
Rollins seems to forget that many students already struggle to meet its tuition costs.

Nutritious yet delicious spots in Orlando Two local restaurants that offer customizable, healthy foods for students who long to break away from R-Card options. By Kira Bernhard

W
hat is on the Campus Center menu today? Unfortunately, it tends to be the same old thing. Despite having access to a range of off-campus restaurants where students can use their R-Cards, the options become boring and it is time to switch things up. That is why I am sharing two of my current favorite spots in Orlando where you can get food that not only makes you happy, but will make your body happy, too.

April 14
If the words fresh and plantbased appeal to you, you will want to check out The Sanctum Cafe, where they serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner options all made from scratch. Their ingredients are locally sourced (when available) and are received from programs such as Fleet Farming, an organization that Rollins happily supports. Their commitment to using quality ingredients makes The Sanctum Cafe stand apart from
Photo by Kira Bernhard The Sushi Bowl is a fan-favorite of The Sanctum Cafe. other restaurants. They make their food wholesome by not using hydrogenated oils, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, refined flours, or refined sugars. Though these ingredients are okay in moderation, they should not be in the majority of the things going into a person’s body. Luckily, The Sanctum Cafe is here to make sure that is not
the case. The dish that I would recommend ordering is the Sushi Bowl ($13.50). The highlights of the bowl are the tamari-roasted sweet potatoes and organic house tempeh. The umami flavor is like no other, and it will leave you wanting to go back for more! You can modify any of their
Clean Juice
Are you in need of something refreshing? Clean Juice has your back with their vast array of acai bowls, cold-pressed bottles, juices, and fruit and protein smoothies. Conveniently, Clean Juice is located in the Winter Park Village, so students can rent a bike or take the Rollins Friday night shuttle there. What I love about Clean Juice is that, instead of using refined sugars, they use honey or maple syrup to sweeten their drinks. Just like The Sanctum Cafe, Clean Juice’s menu items are customizable, so you can remove ingredients you do not like
dishes to suit your preferences and the staff is extremely understanding, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. On windy or cold days, make sure to also get their Matcha Maca Latte ($4.50 / $5.25), because the earthy notes complement the umami-rich Sushi Bowl perfectly. or, better yet, add ingredients (such as leafy greens) to boost the nutrient content without sacrificing any flavor. Their best-selling product is the Berry Bowl. However, after sampling all of their menu items, I would say that you cannot go wrong with any of their options. My personal favorite for this time of the year is The Mangos N Cream One protein smoothie. As it is finally warming up in Florida, I am craving tropical fruit, and this certainly hits the spot! If you are going to Clean Juice with a friend who wants something to munch on rather than sip, they also serve oatmeal and toast combinations. I would seriously recommend their Avocado Toast or Almond Toast.

Panthers kill Tars’ winning streak After a devastating loss to Florida Tech, women’s lacrosse continues to fight for glory at the national level. By Paul Schattschneider
pschattschneider@rollins.edu
A
fter a hot 11-game win streak, the Tars finally cooled off, losing to the 5th-ranked Florida Tech Panthers for the team’s first loss since February 20. Last Saturday, the Tars hung with the Panthers well in the first half of the game, matching the Panther’s goal tally for a score of 5-5 at the break. It was the second half, however, where Rollins simply could not keep up with Florida Tech’s pace. The Tars managed to answer the first couple scoring runs by the Panthers, reducing the deficit to just one goal two different times. However, once the Tars fell behind 12-9 with 17 minutes remaining, the Panthers pulled away. The Tars were outscored 9-3 in those final 17 minutes, losing by a final score of 21-12. The loss dropped the Tars to a 12-2 overall record and a 2-2 conference record. Before the loss, Rollins’ women’s lacrosse team was rolling through their competition, utilizing their stellar defense and goalkeeping to grind down their opponents. The Tars lost to Adelphi, the number 1 ranked team at the time, in February but never looked back. Over the following five matches, the Tars held their opponents to single digits on the scoreboard in each contest, while scoring over 10 goals in
those games themselves. Over the course of the entire streak, the Tars proved their status as a conference contender. The teams that the Tars faced throughout the course of their run were no pushovers, as their competition included four teams ranked in the top 25, including 6th-ranked Limestone and 1stranked Florida Southern. One of the Tars’ key players throughout the winning streak was goalkeeper Malorie Olin. Over the course of the season, Olin has been dominant in the goal, having earned National Division II Defensive Player of the Week honors twice. While Olin performed well throughout the entirety of the wining streak, her most pivotal performance came on April 4 against 1st-ranked Florida Southern. In that game, Olin saved a career-high 18 shots, second best in Rollins history. Olin made history once more in the loss to Florida Tech, having set the Rollins record for most saves in a career with 464. Although the recent loss is a setback, the Rollins Tars have shown they have what it takes to be not only a conference contender, but a national contender, as well. Were the Tars to find their rhythm again, they would be a formidable foe for even the top teams in the country. Rollins will look to start a new winning streak on Saturday, April 14 as they take on the Saint Leo Lions in a conference contest at home.
