library resources, mentoring and internship opportunities, additional staffing for developing and marketing the programs, and a superior career placement program. Performing and Fine Arts................................................................................................................................................$3,000,000 Participation in the College’s musical and theatrical performances is a life-changing experience. Some of the fondest memories shared by our alumni involve a Millsaps Singers performance or a Millsaps Players production. A significant number of our students participate in the performing and fine arts programs, and the performances attract the Jackson community to the campus, providing an important cultural venue for the capital city and the state. Needs: The most pressing need is endowment support to underwrite off-campus study experiences, expand workshop and guest performance experiences, maintain and update equipment and instruments, and increase community partnerships with local artistic groups and organizations. Athletics...........................................................................................................................................................................$2,000,000 Millsaps athletes compete at the Division III level of the NCAA, with more than a quarter of our students competing in 14 different sports. As the College does not offer athletic scholarships, Millsaps scholar-athletes compete purely for the love of the game. Needs: The most pressing need is new endowment support to cover rising equipment and travel costs, as well as increased funding for women’s and men’s sports.
