Parents & Family Council
Founded in 1963, The Parents & Family Council (P&FC) is a college-wide network that serves as a valued communication link between the College and our parent and family community.
Helping Make Rollins Brighter
Each year, current Rollins parents are invited to join the Council. Through their philanthropic support and engagement, Council members help create transformative opportunities for students and strengthen the College's mission.
Our Mission

- Support the College with leadership-level gifts to the Rollins Annual Fund and inspire other parents to contribute
- Serve as ambassadors in their communities, helping raise awareness of Rollins among prospective families
- Foster open communication by keeping fellow parents informed and sharing important feedback with College leadership
