Effective immediately,the gates at Park Avenue will close at 7 p.m., seven days a week. After 7 p.m., access to south campus will come via the Webster Street (South gate) entrance.  Faculty and staff vehicles should have a Millsaps decal displayed on the left side of the windshield.  When/if no officer is on duty at South gate, faculty and staff can swipe their Millsaps ID cards to gain access. Certainly, there will be exceptions to this schedule when the College hosts special events that require public access to campus via Park Avenue. Thanks for your patience as we balance safety/security with our dedication to the broader community.
