Millsaps students are thinkers. They
enjoy engaging complex issues and tackling tough questions. They
know that to thrive in today's world requires a sophisticated cadre
of intellectual abilities as well as a mature moral imagination.
The Millsaps College curriculum is uniquely positioned to equip
students with the intellectual tools, global awareness, and ethical
sensibilities necessary for personal and communal flourishing in
today's complex world.
The
Meaning of Work
Work. . . We
spend most of our waking hours doing it, but we rarely stop to reflect
on its meaning for our individual lives and the larger world in
which we live. What insights into the vital queston of the meaning
of work can be culled from religion, philosophy, psychology, history,
and business? This interdisciplinary course invites students to
reflect critically on the possibilities for meaningful work in today's
world and to test out those possibilities in real-world laboratories.
Ethics
Perhaps
more than ever before, young people need opportunities to develop
moral imaginations that will allow them to live with integrity and
generosity amidst the complexities and challenges of today's world.
An array of ethics courses offers Millsaps students just this chance.

Millsaps Faith & Work Initiative Library

& Work Initiative invites you to make use of the library of

in the workplace, spirituality, spiritual leadership, service-learning
