Center for Leadership & Community Engagement
Annual Events
The CLCE manages a wide variety of initiatives created to better integrate students, staff, and faculty within the broader community. Below are a few of our top events and programs...
SPARC DAY
Reflection is a big part of service
Even the president gets involved!
SPARC Day of Service
SPARC (Service, Passion, Action, Rollins College) is a day of service and education for all incoming first year and transfer students. SPARC is meant to ignite interest and passion in the Rollins community, encourage reflection, and prompt critical thinking about the issues facing our communities. SPARC Day, which is held during Orientation Week, challenges students to engage as active participants in creating a life of citizenship, leadership, and action that starts in their first semester.
Common Hour on the Lawn
Community Common Hour on the Lawn occurs during the first common hour (Tuesday/Thursday 12-2 PM) of each semester. This event brings the Rollins campus together to enjoy food, music, and fun!
R Community Fair
The R-Community Fair occurs once every semester and provides an opportunity for community partners and members from the Greater Orlando area to come to campus and meet Rollins students and faculty.
SSF Fundraiser
Every year, the Student Support Foundation (SSF) hosts a philanthropy-based fundraiser. Profits raised directly support students experiencing a short-term emergency need. SSF has partnered with Fraternity & Sorority Life, Student Government Association, and Winter Park Institute.
#summerSERVE
#summerSERVE is a campus-wide initiative that connects students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Rollins College to continue their engagement with the local community throughout the summer months. #summerSERVE gives everyone the opportunity to build meaningful relationships through direct service, community engagement, and education.
