Connect
At Rollins, we have groups, clubs, and organizations that bring members together around shared interests to advance common priorities.
Our offerings of shared-identity groups convene to form ongoing, sustained networks that provide space to participate in professional development, network, build partnerships, share best practices, and support each other's forward progress. Rollins’ groups demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity and belonging. Employee resource groups (ERGs) provide faculty and staff with the opportunity to share interests and experiences with each other, and the broader campus community. All ERGs are formed and operated by employees on a voluntary basis. For questions or more information on ERGs, email dmckinnon@rollins.edu.
Identity-Based Employee Communities
At Rollins , identity-based communities connect Tars based on their shared cultural, industry, racial, or personal identities. There are different communities formed organically that serve both faculty and staff needs for belonging and thriving, providing both an environment that supports networking, socializing, and opportunities to celebrate their heritage and experiences. To learn more about additional Rollins identity-based communities not listed below, please send an email to DEIB@Rollins.edu.
