Discounted Room Rates at The Alfond Inn
The gorgeous boutique hotel steps from Park Avenue is a favorite destination for those visiting Winter Park and locals looking for a weekend getaway. An extension of the Rollins Museum of Art collection, the hotel also boasts a 240-piece art installation throughout the inn. Rollins Alumni are entitled to a 15% booking discount off the best available room rate, subject to availability. The best part is that the profits from The Alfond Inn are directed to the Alfond Scholars program, Rollins College’s premier scholarship fund, which offers full scholarships to deserving students.
Olin Library Access
Rollins alumni may access the vast on-campus facilities provided by Olin Library, including onsite computers, wi-fi access, printing, and research databases. Book-borrowing privileges are also available to alumni through the Community Borrowers Membership card, free for the first year and renewable for $25 annually thereafter. You can apply for a Community Borrowers Membership card in person at the Circulation and Information Desk. To access these benefits during regular hours, ring the doorbell at the library front entrance, or use your R-Card if you have one. Sign in and enjoy the stacks!
Rollins Bookstore Alumni Weekend Discount Program
During the annual Alumni Weekend gathering, Rollins Bookstore offers a special incentive for all alumni in attendance. Simply show your nametag, featuring your graduation year, and receive a discount that matches your Rollins reunion year! For example, if you graduated in 1994 and are attending the 2024 Alumni Weekend, you are celebrating your 30th reunion and will receive a 30% discount on all purchases.
Annie Russell Theatre Discounts
The oldest consistently running theatre in Florida, the Annie Russell Theatre is celebrating the 91st season while the brand new Tiedtke Theatre and Dance Centre embarks on the inaugural. Together, these performance spaces spotlight both history and innovation (and perhaps a little haunting). As alumni, you receive a discount when purchasing tickets to any single performance or a season subscription. Call the box office at 407-646-2145 to take advantage of alumni pricing.
Tailgate for the Tars
Come out and cheer for your Tars! Rollins home games are free to the public for all fans. It’s a great opportunity to gather a group of alumni together and plan a tailgate party before a game. The gravel lot North of Fairbanks Avenue, adjacent to the Truist Parking Garage, is reserved for tailgating during games taking place at Cahall-Sandspur Field. For more information on tailgating, read the guidelines before you go.

Rollins in a Box
Rollins alumni always have a great time when they’re together. With the Rollins In a Box program, you can host your own event and connect with Tars anytime, anywhere. Volunteer to host an alumni gathering to reconnect with classmates in your area, network with other Rollins professionals, or host a mixer to connect with local alumni you haven’t yet met. Alumni have hosted afternoon tailgates at their home, an outing to a comedy club, or an open gathering at a favorite local pub. We’ll send you a box with Rollins swag to hand out to your guests, plus a special item as a Thank You for hosting. You can also receive funds towards the purchase of food for your event. Read up on the fun you could have as a host and set up your own.
