It has been an exceptional year here on America’s most beautiful campus. As 2023 draws to a close, it is worth reflecting on all that we have accomplished together this year at Rollins. There is so much to celebrate.
Rollins was once again ranked the No.1 regional university in the South and our classroom experience was ranked among the top 25 in the nation. Throughout the year, we welcomed new people, introduced new programs, and unveiled new places that will elevate the student experience for decades to come. This fall, Rollins welcomed 638 new first-year students, the largest incoming class in college history. And that’s just scratching the surface of what Tars have achieved in 2023.
