Gary and Kathleen Rollins, left, watch as UTC Chancellor Steven R. Angle speaks during the unveiling of their portrait. College of Business Dean Robert Dooley looks on.<\/p><\/div>\n

On Thursday, about 56 years after Gary W. Rollins graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the school unveiled a portrait of him and his wife Kathleen.<\/p>\n

Hanging on the fourth floor of Fletcher Hall, home to the Gary W. Rollins College of Business, is a finishing touch on the physical and academic transformation of the College of Business, named in honor of Rollins after an historic donation to the University in 2018.<\/p>\n

The Rollins’ $40-million gift\u2014the largest in UTC history and the fourth-largest among all public universities in Tennessee\u2014has funded the $12-million renovation of Fletcher Hall and cutting-edge new programs, equipment and faculty for the business college, the first\u2014and only\u2014of the University\u2019s five colleges to be named.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to unveil this beautiful portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Rollins and place it in its temporary home in Fletcher Hall,” said College of Business Dean Robert Dooley.<\/p>\n

“In addition to funding scholarships and programming for our students, faculty research to enhance teaching and engagement, and the beautiful renovation of Fletcher Hall, their gift also provided funding to develop a plan for a new business building.<\/p>\n

“We are excited with the results of that planning process and look forward to placing the Rollins portrait in a permanent home in the atrium of that new building in the future,\u201d said Dooley, who escorted the Rollins around campus to meet with students, faculty and staff before the portrait unveiling.<\/p>\n

Rollins took classes in Fletcher Hall as a UTC student before graduating in 1967 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration. He went on to become a titan of industry and continues to serve as chairman and CEO of Rollins, Inc., a publicly traded company with numerous holdings, including pest control giant Orkin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the Rollins for taking a chance on us, that we would be good stewards of their gift and believing in all of us at UTC,” Chancellor Steven R. Angle said. \u201cThe gift is the opportunity to make a difference and to see people excel and go out and do great things in the world, and that\u2019s what the Rollins have done for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investment choices for the SMILE Fund are made entirely by the students who run it.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Rollins gift also established the Rollins Scholars program, which provides four-year, $4,000 per-year scholarships for 53 UTC business majors, with another 20 scholarships available for incoming freshmen in the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s energizing seeing and talking with the students,\u201d said Rollins, 77, who ate lunch with his scholarship recipients Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could clone that enthusiasm. Sometimes you want to turn back the clock, but then sometimes you think, no you don\u2019t,\u201d he said with a chuckle. \u201cThe impact I can have is very gratifying, but this has been mutually beneficial.”<\/p>\n

He and Kathleen Rollins, who is executive director of the Gary W. Rollins Foundation, started the day at the University Center Raccoon Mountain Room for a meeting with students who run the stock market investment fund at UTC, known as the SMILE Fund (Student Managed Investment Learning Experience.) Former U.S. Sen. and Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker, UT System President Randy Boyd and Angle also attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

The students presented analyses and reports on the fund\u2019s performance, starting with chief investment strategist Luke Johnson, a junior majoring in finance.<\/p>\n

The students are accustomed to fielding tough questions from finance professionals on the SMILE Fund\u2019s advisory board, and Johnson didn\u2019t miss a beat when Kathleen Rollins asked what the group thought of Rollins, Inc.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love it,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

Student Logan W.E. Painter, the fund’s vice president of risk management, said Thursday\u2019s meeting was a bit more nerve-wracking than usual with the dignitaries in the room, especially Gary W. Rollins.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis name being on that building means a lot to us, and we\u2019re very thankful for him being here,” Painter said. “We wanted to do the best that we could and I think we truly did that today.”<\/p>\n
