Rollins College valedictorian Elizabeth Bonker ’22, who's affected by non-speaking autism and communicates solely by typing, urges her fellow graduates to use their voices, serve others, and see the value in everyone they meet.
Hear her message:
At Rollins, we are committed to educating responsible leaders and civically engaged individuals, so students who are exercising their voice in deliberate, peaceful protests will not have their admission decisions impacted.
We are saddened to hear about the passing of Joanne Rogers ‘50, wife of the late Fred Rogers ’51. We offer our condolences to the Rogers family.
Fred and Joanne found each other while studying music at Rollins. And now, we have no doubt that they have found each other again. 💙
🎉 In honor of his birthday this Saturday, Rollins is proud to announce that a bronze sculpture honoring the life and legacy of beloved alumnus, Fred Rogers ’51 ’74H, (AKA
#MisterRogers
) will be unveiled on campus in October.
