About


Together, We Power the Next Generation.

On Rollins Giving Day, President Brooke Barnett and Dr. Tom Mould invite alumni from the past two decades to come together in support of today’s students. This challenge is designed exclusively for the next generation of alumni leaders and highlights the powerful role alumni participation plays in shaping the Rollins experience.

Alumni gifts strengthen the programs and opportunities that connect education to life after Rollins, fueling mentorship, hands-on learning, and collaboration between students and faculty. These experiences build confidence, sharpen career skills, and prepare students to navigate what comes next.

When 200 alumni from the classes of 2006–2025 make a gift for Giving Day, President Barnett and Dr. Tom Mould will donate $50,000 to high-impact practices for our students to bolster career readiness and a bright future for the next generation.

Join us on February 19 and be part of a collective alumni effort to invest in the future of Rollins.
