Millsaps Bubble Survey

For Students:

This survey is for Dr. DeRouen’s Writing for New Media class.  The final project for this class is composing a multi-media project that focuses on Millsaps or the the Jackson area.  We narrowed our project by focusing on the Millsaps bubble, both academic and social.  We would really appreciate it if you took a few minutes to fill out this survey so that we can get an idea about what students think about the Millsaps Bubble.

Take Back the Night

Hey, want to support survivors of sexual & domestic abuse, attend a giant thrift sale, & have a crazy campus- wide party with the Lazy Boi Band & The Great States?? Great news. With Take Back the Night, you can. Take Back the Night is a campus wide effort to acknowledge and support survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, while supporting the local midtown shelter Matt's House.

 Here's what's up:

1. Donate all and any clothes you want to the buckets in your dorm laundry rooms. We'll pick them up. You don't have to do much work. Just donate. We're going to sell them.

2. Show up on Friday April 25th to the thrift sale starting at 5pm in Galloway Green. Chat with friends. Buy some stuff. Get some swag.

3. Grab a blanket, a buddy,  and enjoy Take Back the Night! Bands will play, speakers will speak, discourse will be raised. It's what the Millsaps life is all about.

It'll be a blast, I promise. It's Amnesty tested, Millsaps approved.
