The Millsaps College Alumni Association is open and free to all alumni and is comprised of chapters in different areas across the country. Each of the chapters, and the association as a whole, focuses on encouraging support for Millsaps and building connections among alumni.
The association, and each chapter, have four areas of focus: to assist the College in recruitment of prospective students (Admissions Committee); to encourage alumni giving (Gifting Committee); to strengthen career networking opportunities (Career Development/Networking Committee); and to build alumni engagement in the life of the College (Visibility-building/Engagement Committee).
