Ad Excellentiam: The Millsaps Strategic Plan
Millsaps College Strategic Plan 2026–2031
Building on Our Strengths.
Shaping Our Future.
Millsaps College has a long tradition of preparing students for lives of excellence, meaning and service. As we look to the future, we remain committed to the personalized education, meaningful relationships and transformative experiences that define a Millsaps education.
Ad Excellentiam, our strategic plan for 2026–2031, provides a roadmap for building on these strengths while positioning the college for continued success. Grounded in our mission, vision and institutional values, the plan establishes clear priorities to strengthen our institution, enrich our campus community and expand the impact of a Millsaps education.
Our work is organized around three strategic pillars:
- Vitality: Strengthening the college’s financial and operational foundation to ensure long-term sustainability and success.
- Community: Fostering a vibrant, connected campus culture rooted in our shared values and strengthened by meaningful partnerships.
- Impact: Enhancing the educational experiences, opportunities and outcomes that prepare students for purposeful lives and successful careers.
Together, these priorities reflect our commitment to ensuring that Millsaps continues to thrive while remaining true to what makes our college distinctive.
