  • Fred Rogers’ legacy of kindness, responsibility, and community continues to endure in the world and throughout the Rollins College campus. At Rollins College, Rogers discovered his purpose while studying music composition. Here, he learned “Life is for Service,” the importance of relationships, and that community is the driver of good. It is the same environment, one rooted in experiential and relational learning, where we prepare our students to be the next generation of responsible leaders and global citizens. We invite you to explore the neighborhood that shaped America’s favorite neighbor on this 5-stop self-guided walking tour.
