Fiat Lux Society

Student breakthroughs start with you.

Joining the Fiat Lux Society today will make a lasting impact on Rollins students and the changemakers they will become. Gifts to the Rollins Annual Fund support scholarships, academic programming, and student-life initiatives—all core tenets of a Rollins education. In 2023-24, 79% of funds raised for the Rollins Annual Fund came from Fiat Lux Society members.

Before coming to Rollins, Makayle Kellison ’25 didn’t know much about physics. Now she’s a published scholar in the field thanks to research she conducted alongside physics professor Whitney Coyle. The topic? Acoustics. The subject? The recent historic launch of the Artemis I rocket.

Watching the spacecraft take off toward the moon just 11 miles from Kennedy Space Center, Kellison was among the closest to the launch site as she worked to collect data on the impact of its sound. This experience has not only crystallized a growing passion in the physics major to understand the way the world works, but it also helped land her a spot in a prestigious program funded by the National Science Foundation at Brigham Young University, which helped her earn a Goldwater Scholarship, the country's most prestigious undergraduate award for the STEM fields.

Leadership giving to the Rollins Annual Fund makes a Rollins education possible for academically talented students like Makayle. As a Fiat Lux Society member, you will empower our students to discover new interests and find their place in the world.
