On October 20, President Duncan addressed the students, administration and faculty of the Holt school to answer questions and share his vision for Rollins. Approximately 200 people were in the audience to hear his comments.

This event was sponsored by the Hamilton Holt Student Government Association (HHSGA) to continue its focus on helping Holt students to actively get involved and be a part of the community of Rolllins College. As HHSGA President, Bandar Reda, stated, "We believe the Hamilton Holt students, faculty and staff are outstanding and it is our goal this year to increase the sense of community that we feel here at Rollins. This 'Meet the President' is one of the ways we are working towards that goal and you are an important part of this process."

This event was also supported by Communique, the Public Relations organization for Hamilton Holt students who helped to market and advertise the "Meet the President" night. HHSGA officers were also introduced: Matt Drury, Vice President, Richard Mino, Treasurer, and Mary Allen Singer, Secretary.

Matt Drury introduced President Duncan and Mary Allen helped to facilitate questions from the floor. Refreshments were served after the session and many students stayed to continue conversations and meet the President in person.

The next event of the HHSGA is to participate in the Rollins Homecoming. In addition to the activities advertised on the Rollins website, Holt community members - which include undergraduates, graduates and faculty - are invited to a Hot Dog Roast and Pep Rally on October 30.

This event will be held outside in the courtyard at Cornell Social Sciences Center and is free, but reservations are requested to help with planning. We also still need volunteers to help. Please RSVP to rmino@rollins.edu if you will be joining us so that we know how many hot dogs to grill!
