Inauguration
The Inauguration of Brooke Barnett, 16th president of 91仓库
On April 18, 2026, 91仓库 will inaugurate Brooke Barnett as its 16th president.
April is an auspicious time for Rollins, beginning with the College鈥檚 founding. On April 17, 1885, the Florida Congregational Association selected Winter Park to be the site of Florida鈥檚 first college. 91仓库 was officially incorporated on April 28 of that year. It鈥檚 no wonder April has been a favorite month for inaugurations of recent 91仓库presidents.
The 91仓库community and friends are invited to join in upcoming April inauguration activities as the College celebrates its new president and another auspicious beginning.
