We have been busy preparing for your arrival, as those of you in newly renovated residence halls will notice immediately We hope you enjoyed the sum­ mer break and are ready to commence a successful year. One of our goals this year is to deepen our pride in Rollins. Last year the Arts & Sciences Student Government Association launched R-Fridays, a weekly celebration of school spirit when all members of the Rollins community are encouraged to wear Rollins shirts or Rollins colors. We will continue that tradition, led by our first-year students in their Rollins Class of 2009 T- shirts. Another great way to show our school spirit is by participating in campus activities. Whether cheering for the Tars at this fall's soccer and volleyball matches and other athletic com­ petitions or applauding classmates performing at the Annie Russell Theatre, we signal our pride in Rollins and our respect for each other's hard work. Homecoming (October 17-23), another new tradition started last year, lets us share our pride with returning alumni. As the new year begins, we ask each of you to reaffirm the values that have guided the College over its 120 years: excellence, innovation, and community. We ask you to strive for new levels of personal excellence, to think creatively about how we can make our learning experience at Rollins even better, and to become more involved in the campus community. With more than 90 student organizations, there are abundant opportunities to connect with students, faculty, and staff who share your interests. If you don't find a club that appeals to you, start one! Some of the most interesting activities on campus recently have been sponsored by new organizations. I will continue to hold both day and evening "open office hours" at the Cornell Campus Center and the Cornell Hall for the Social Sciences. (Watch The Sandspur and the College calen­ dar for dates and times.) No appointment is required and there are no set topics; just stop by and chat. I'd like to hear how your term is going. Our faculty and staff join me in wishing you a rewarding year. We are committed to help­ ing you make the most of your life at Rollins and we look forward to celebrating your successes.

  • Welcome to Winter Park
    jxÄvÉÅx àÉ The City of Winter Park, Florida One of the finest cities in the United States, Winter Park, Fla., is considered by many to be the premier urban village in the sunshine state. With its rich heritage, strong sense of community, vast parks system, diverse economic base, and beautiful chain of lakes, the city provides a high quality of life to both its residents and visitors alike. Located just three miles north of Orlando in Orange County, the city is nine square miles with over 28,000 residents. Winter Park is known for its Old World charm, elegant homes, quaint bricked streets, extensive tree canopy, first-class shopping and dining experiences, world-class museums and Rollins College. Described by some as a small New England village with a European flavor with quaint shops and scrumptious restaurants, Winter Park is as beautiful as it is unique. In addition to its town-and-gown relationship with Rollins College, the oldest private college in Florida, the city has developed significant partnerships among area businesses, schools, cultural organizations, civic groups and neighborhood associations. Winter Park is not only known for its abundance of upscale shopping and unique restaurants, but also its historic Hannibal Square district, Winter Park Village and nationally-ranked schools which include Winter Park High School, Rollins College and Valencia Community College. With four museums, The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College, Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens and Winter Park Historical Museum, Winter Park is a Mecca for those interested in world-class art and rich cultural experiences.
