The Traditions Committee of Rollins Cares is working on creating an Insider's Guide to Rollins for incoming first-year students. Below are suggestions for content for the guide. By no means is this list complete; we would like your brainstorming ideas and feedback to help us create a fun and interesting booklet to present to the newest members of the Rollins community each year. Please send any suggestions or comments to: Trish Moser (pmoser@rollins.edu)
