History: In January 1885, representatives from five Central Florida communities competed for the privilege of becoming the College’s home. The three-year old town of Winter Park emerged as the undisputed winner, benefiting from a generous gift offered on its behalf by a Chicago businessman, Alonzo Rollins. Named in his honor, Rollins College was incorporated on April 28, 1885. From its inception the College has been coeducational and has attracted students both from the local communities of Central Florida and from the North. Building on a tradition of excellence, innovation, and community more than a century old, the College is striding forward boldly to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, while holding firmly to its commitment to personalized education in a nurturing environment.
