Somewhere between extreme elation and unequivocal fear, a new generation of Rollins students took to the residence hall stairways this fall, carrying with them mementos of their past, necessities of their present, and dreams of their future.



“We hope, actually we expect, that you will use your Rollins education and experience as a springboard that sends you off into the world to change— and perhaps even save—it for your generation and your children’s generation.”
—David Erdmann, Dean of Admission during Convocation 2011
