- Hi, my name is Kim and I'm a double major
in international relations and religious studies.
- Hi folks, my name is Alec Vaughn
and I'm a physics major.
- Hi, I'm Beatriz, an international relations major,
and today we're taking you on a tour of Rollins.
Let's go.
Located at the center of campus
and at the heart of the student experience,
Kathleen W. Rollins Hall brings together
over 10 curricular and co-curricular programs,
including the Center for Career and Life Planning
as well as International Programs.
Kathleen W. Rollins is the epicenter of Rollins Gateway,
our unique approach to learning
in which we educate students for global citizenship
and responsible leadership.
Gateway allows students to create their own educational path
using experiential learning opportunities,
from internships and study abroad,
to collaborative research and community engagement.
This is Skillman Dining Hall,
our main dining option on campus with eight food stations,
varying from vegan options, pizza, pasta,
international foods, and more.
Skillman's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner
seven days a week.
- Welcome to Lakeside Neighborhood.
There are three residential halls for upperclassmen,
all designed to cultivate overall health and wellness.
Each Lakeside apartment is fully furnished
with a flat screen TV, a washer and dryer,
and a full kitchen.
Each student who lives in Lakeside
enjoys a private bedroom and a private bathroom.
The Lakeside community is open to all students,
not just Lakeside residents.
The 12,000 square foot pool and deck
are a great place for Rollins students to study and enjoy.
This is our Anchor Club,
a 4,300 square foot fitness center and movement studio.
This is home to many of our offices on campus,
such as the Residential Life and Explorations Office
and the Center for Inclusion and Campus Involvement.
And this is where students can learn about getting involved
with any of our more than 100 clubs and organizations
on campus.
This is our Fox Lodge, another convenient dining option
on campus where students can use their meal plans
to enjoy fair trade coffee
and breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.
- This is Pinehurst Cottage.
This is the oldest building on our campus,
as we were built in 1885, and that was built in 1886.
At one point it was our library,
at one point it was our administrative office,
but now it is a residential space
for members of the Pinehurst Organization.
- Here are a few of our fraternity and sorority houses
on campus.
Around 40% of our students are involved in Greek life
and recruitment happens in the spring.
- This is the Cornell Fine Arts Museum.
It's free and it's open to the public.
And the best part about it is students get to display
their own work inside this amazing museum,
and is the only teaching museum in the greater Orlando area.
This is our Alfond Sports Center,
home to our basketball and volleyball teams.
It's also where we hold convocation and commencement.
We have free fitness classes like yoga and ilates
and an awesome fitness center
to accommodate all of our students.
This is the Cornell Hall for Social Sciences,
housing departments including economics,
history and education.
And it also includes Cornell Cafe,
or as we like to call it, Tarpotle,
a great Mexican dining option
that is included with the dining plan.
This is our Annie Russell Theatre,
home to our theater and dance departments.
It is one of the longest running theaters
in Central Florida.
We offer five productions every year,
and non theater students can still participate
backstage and onstage.
- This is Knowles Memorial Chapel,
my favorite building on campus.
We're a non-denominational school,
so the chapel host all services
that students might follow.
Fun fact, this ceiling was painted by one woman
on her back for an entire year.
- Here we are at Roy E. Crummer Hall,
home of our MBA program.
This school is ranked the number one business school
in the state of Florida.
And number one in the department of leadership.
Here, students can enroll
in our 3/2 accelerated management program,
where they take three years in our undergraduate program,
majoring in anything, two years at Crummer,
and they can be out with their MBA in five years.
- This is our Bush Science Center,
home to all of our STEM disciplines,
including physics and psychology.
Also home to our student-faculty
collaborative research program,
where students can perform original research
with faculty members.
Bush is a three-story building with a cafe,
numerous study spaces, and a greenhouse on its roof.
- Here we are at the Warren Administration building.
This is where our president, vice president, and dean
do all of their work.
Our current president is Grant Cornwell,
he is our 15th president of the college,
and you'll often see him going around campus on his scooter.
- This is our heart of campus, Mills Lawn.
Each year, here in Tar's Plaza, Rollins celebrates Fox Day.
Our favorite tradition on campus.
Once a year, the president chooses a day
deemed too beautiful to have class
and cancels classes for the whole day.
They roll out a fox statue here on Tar's Plaza
around 6AM to signal the beginning of Fox Day.
It can be any day after spring break, but before finals.
People go to the beach,
people go to Disney, and people go back to bed.
- Now here we are at the Olin library.
Our main floor is open 24/7 to all students,
but of course like any college library,
the higher you go, the quieter it gets.
So our two main floors down there are talking floors,
and our top two floors where I am
are our quiet floors.
Our library is also home to our IT desk,
tutoring center and accessibility services office.
This is one of our outdoor classrooms.
With an average temperature of 73 degrees
here in Winter Park,
our professors like to take advantage of the nice weather
and have their classes in the great outdoors.
With a student to faculty ratio of 11 to one
here at Rollins, this makes for an exceptionally
engaging learning environment.
This is Ward Hall, our largest freshman residence hall.
All of our first-year halls are community style,
and if you live outside of a 50 mile radius of our campus,
we do have a three year live on requirement.
- Here we are at the Sandspur Stadium.
You have a nice little soccer camp going on behind us.
This is home to our soccer and lacrosse teams.
We are a division two school, all of our varsity sports.
However, we are division one in water skiing.
You also have about 15 intramural sports
for a nice casual athletic experience.
And this is our Wellness Center,
which is open five days a week
and offers many free services to our students.
There are physicians and nurses for basic health needs,
free counseling for mental health,
free vaccines, and other services.
Thank you for joining us on our tour of Rollins today.
I hope to see you soon. Bye!
