Posted on October 1, 2020October 1, 2020 by Rae Switzer

Enshrouded in the shrubbery and shade between the Christian Center and Murrah Hall lies an often-overlooked structure – the tomb of Major Millsaps and his wife, Mary.

To Be a College Student During a Pandemic

Posted on September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 by Sara Snelson

It’s an odd feeling to study in the Christian Center completely alone. Last August, it was hard to find an empty table. I’d chat with passing professors and run to Eco Grounds to grab a snack. I remember sitting in there past midnight, desperate to understand calorimetry. Maybe today was different because it was 3pm…

History of Millsaps: Bacot Hall

Posted on September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 by Rae Switzer

Posted on August 1, 2020August 1, 2020 by Brandy Raymond

This past July, I was one of the lucky (or unlucky) takers of the LSAT-Flex: a digital version of the Law School Admissions Test that specifically caters to the unique circumstances created by the coronavirus. The test is taken at home, as in-person test-taking poses too much of a risk for all parties involved. To…
