About


Together, Alumni Make a Lasting Impact.

On Rollins Giving Day, alumni come together to support the experiences that shape today’s students and strengthen the Rollins community. Participating in the Alumni Challenge is a powerful way to show pride in your Rollins experience and invest in the next generation of Tars.

Alumni support helps sustain the academic programs, student opportunities, and campus resources that make a Rollins education distinctive. When alumni give together, their collective participation sends a strong message about the lasting value of a Rollins degree and the community that stands behind it.

This year, Giving Day offers alumni a shared opportunity to amplify their impact. If 400 alumni make a gift, Chris Russo ’82 will donate $15,000 to the Rollins Annual Fund, extending the reach of alumni support and strengthening resources that benefit students across campus.

Every gift reflects a continued connection to Rollins and a belief in what’s possible for future Tars. Join us on February 19 and be part of the alumni community making a difference.
