What Our Grads Say

Find out how some of our recent grads are putting what they learned in Rollins classrooms to work in the real world.

“Offering a comment or posing a question felt natural throughout my classes at Rollins, which not only facilitated my active engagement with the material but also allowed professors to get to know me in and out of class. This translated into more personalized learning and impactful letters of recommendation.”

“I’m constantly in meetings and expected to speak up because the department is pretty small, so I get regular exposure to VPs and partners. On the first day, I realized this was nothing new to me—I’d already done a lot of presentations and had ongoing discussions with all sorts of people. You build knowledge, courage, and confidence from your first semester at Rollins.”

“In grad school, I’ve been able to engage better with the reading material than my peers and have been actively participating in class without the fear of being ‘wrong.’ The pedagogy at Rollins teaches you not to be afraid to question or not know something because it is through this process that we learn.”

“Rollins’ emphasis on research, teamwork, and teaching you how to learn was the perfect preparation for the field of computer science, which is always changing. Rollins professors are really good at fostering a love of learning in a highly collaborative environment.”
