In 2010, Rollins established the Presidential Award for Diversity and Inclusion, an award that recognizes and honors students, faculty, and staff for their efforts aimed at promoting diversity awareness, representation, and inclusion within the Rollins workplace and student community.

In support of the College’s continual commitment to fostering a culture of inclusive thriving, the award is intended to recognize Rollins College community members for their exceptional dedication and achievement towards this objective.

The award in essence demonstrates the institution’s commitment to a campus culture in which the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are impactfully integrated in the Rollins education, workforce, and community.


Who is Eligible?

All Rollins faculty, staff, and students are eligible to be nominated for the award with the exception of individuals whose principal job responsibilities at the College involve DEIB work. Recipients of the Presidential Award for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the past five years are not eligible either.
