We take pride in our people, and with good reason. They’re accomplished scholars, writers, artists, musicians, and scientists. They’re consistently eager to discover new ways of thinking. And they’re passionate about learning, teaching, and inventing.
For us, the mixture of preparation, expertise, and enthusiasm allows for a unique learning community that brings out the potential in each student.
Most colleges promote how important international experience is for students. At Rollins, we think global citizenship is equally important for our professors. After all, we believe in leading by example. To that end, President Lewis Duncan has pledged to send faculty members abroad once every three years. And travel they have. Trekking across the globe, our faculty members have ventured everywhere from China to Ecuador to Tanzania, and everywhere in between.
For Associate Professor of Political Science Michael Gunter the world is the focus. Through his courses in international relations, global environmental affairs, sustainable development, and international security, as well as his research and scholarship, Gunter has been a major player in the College’s efforts to intentionally connect disciplinary studies to real-world situations—with an emphasis on world.
