I left Millsaps not just with a degree, but with a way of engaging with the world… curious, collaborative and unwilling to settle for the surface answer.
I’m so happy that this is how I started my journey here at Millsaps because I love giving back to other people and just to know that it’s so local to Millsaps and that we’re actually helping our local community.
