Many of our students are practicing entrepreneurs who really put their money where their mouth is, and create successful companies while in college. True learning in technology and entrepreneurship is hands-on by its very nature. We are proud of all our students who have applied the skills they learned through the Rollins Center to build great ventures.

RETURN


Extraordinary alumni and friends of the university share their resources and expertise.

Students learn the value of giving back from our network of dedicated entrepreneur Founders and Young Founders who donate their energy and resources to the center. Founders show by selfless example the joy of giving back. They help students in many ways, such as one-on-one mentoring and charitable donations for scholarships, competitions, and activities. Founders enjoy a special camaraderie and relish the opportunity to network professionally and socially with one another at annual retreats, semi-annual conferences, and many other formal and informal activities.
