History
One afternoon in 1880, Lucy Cross had a vision: a college in Central Florida. Five years later, Rollins became the first college in the area, and is now the oldest recognized college in the state. Since that day, we have aspired to empower our students to see a vision of how the world could be and to provide them with the tools to effect the change they envision.
