Family Weekend

Rollins Families Engage with Habitat for Humanity

The weekend of October 23-25, 2009, Rollins celebrated its annual Family Weekend Event. In partnership with the Dean of Faculty and the Office of Community Engagement, Rollins offered a service project for students and their families to participate in. Bright and early on Saturday morning families traveled down the road to partner with Habitat for Humanity of Winter Park. Dr. Laurie Joyner provided a welcome message to families highlighting the College's commitment to engaged learning and President Emeritus Thaddeus Seymour shared the story of Rollins 20 year partnership with Habitat for Humanity.  For a few hours, nails were hammered, foundations were primed, roofs were nailed together, and many new skills were gained.
