Founded in 1890 by the United Methodist Church, Millsaps College exists today as a coeducational liberal arts school with a strong focus on faith. The pleasant 100-acre campus near downtown Jackson is a frequent host to lectures, art exhibitions, conferences and a broad variety of community-oriented student activities. The Millsaps Forum Series holds events throughout the year, including dance and music performances, lectures, recitals and films. The Millsaps Arts and Lecture Series also brings many educational and cultural forums to town.
