Associate Vice President of Athletics Pennie Parker has been named a finalist for the NCAA 2023 Division II Gold Award, recognizing those who have had a significant impact on DII athletics.

The College was recently honored with the NCAA’s Division II Presidents’ Award for Academic Excellence for achieving an academic success rate of 95 percent.

For her legacy as a mentor and advocate for student-athletes, Joan Davison, political science professor and former NCAA faculty athletics representative, has been inducted into the Sunshine State Conference’s Hall of Fame.

It was a standout season, academically and athletically, for Rollins’ sports teams and student-athletes.

Student-athlete Jessika Linnemeyer ’22 has earned the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and will use her award toward a doctorate in physical therapy.

The College inducts 14 student-athletes into the Class of 2022 Rollins Sports Hall of Fame.

Rollins honors the legacy of Frank Barker ’52 ’06H, whose contributions to the College as a caring graduate, Hall-of-Fame athlete, and student-focused trustee will endure indefinitely.

One of the brightest tennis stars to emerge from the Rollins pantheon, Shirley Fry Irvin ’49 was one of only 10 women in the world to win all four Grand Slam singles titles.

Hall of Fame women’s golf coach Julie Garner is guaranteeing a long-term victory for Rollins with a planned gift that’s as personal as it is generous.

The accolade is just the latest milestone in superstar coach Tony Amato ’00’s illustrious career.

Rollins soccer star Megan Welliver ’19 is one of just 42 student-athletes this season to win the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
