Information Regarding
New Meal Plan Options
Students
wishing to change their Meal Plan may do so in Student Life through Monday, August 26th. No changes will be accepted
beyond that point.
Meal Plan 21- Students will receive 21 meals per week in the
cafeteria, with take-out options available in the Kava House and Reuben's.
(Default plan for all on-campus students)
Meal Plan 19- Students will receive 19 meals per week in the
cafeteria, with take-out options available in the Kava House and Reuben's. In
addition students will receive $100 per semester in Dining Dollars that can be
used in the Kava House or Reuben's toward any menu item at any time.
Meal Plan 17- Students will receive 17 meals per week in the
cafeteria, with take-out options available in the Kava House and Reuben's. In
addition students will receive $200 per semester in Dining Dollars that can be
used in the Kava House or Reuben's toward any menu item at any time.
Here are a few important
policy changes that you need to be made aware of:
-->
- No ID = No food. You must have your ID to eat. No
exceptions.
- Meals reset on Saturday mornings.
- Meals do not roll over from week to week. Unused meals
are lost at the end of the week.
- Meal counts are allotted for the week, not the
day. Students are not restricted to 3 meals per day. This allows students
to eat as many, or as few, meals each day as they wish.
- Use you meals for family and guests. You are allowed to
swipe multiple times therefore you are allowed to use your meals for
others including family and other guests.
- Dining Dollars are allocated per semester. Unused
Dining Dollars will not roll over to the next semester. Add Major Bucks
instead of Dining Dollars.
- You cannot change your Meal Plan once the semester has
begun. ( Please see the exception above.) There will be an open enrollment
period for changes for next semester's Meal Plan.
- Students are automatically assigned a Meal Plan 21 when
they are assigned housing. It is up to the student to request a change
once a Meal Plan has been assigned to their account.
Changes to the Kava
House Menu
Students will be able to
use their meal plan in the Kava House for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
usual Outtake options will still be in place, but will be supplemented by new
Hot Options. Students will be able to choose between the usual Sandwich, Chips,
Fruit and a drink combo as well as a Hot Meal, Side and a drink combo. The Hot
Option will change daily and will be offered in a vegetarian format if you so
choose.
Students who have chose
meal plans with Dining Dollars will be able to order off of the set menu as
well. For more information on the new menu please follow the Kava House on Instagram and Twitter

Printing Management
Information for Students
A printing management
program will be implemented in the Fall 2013 semester to promote responsible
printing, reduce costs, and conserve paper. We hope students will
be more aware of how much is printed and think about ways to limit printing and
paper usage by choosing digital copies.
The program will use
PaperCut, a printing management software for managing your printing allowance,
transferring and purchasing additional credit, and checking printing
history.
Students will receive
information on saving and managing digital copies of readings and obtaining
free and low-cost annotation software and Faculty will be encouraged to accept
digital assignments and double-sided printed assignments.
How it works:
Each semester students
will receive $15.00 credit for 300 prints ($.05 each) with a 30% discount for
double-sided printing. In addition, students will have a buffer, or
overdraft allowance, to avoid suspension of printing in the middle of a
job.
Credit can be carried
over from Fall to Spring semester. Students can log into their Papercut
account at anytime to see the remaining balance.
Students can purchase
additional printing credit in the Library. When purchasing additional
credit students will receive a card similar to a retail gift card with an
authorization number. Enter the number in a PaperCut account and credit
instantly appears.
After clicking the print
button in an application’s print window the PaperCut window will open showing
the number of pages in the job and how much it will cost. Duplex printing
will be the default but single-sided can be selected from the application’s
print window.
Student organizations
will have special printing accounts for officers and will be billed separately
by Student Affairs.
If you have questions
contact the Library or ITS.

Student Conduct Council is now accepting applications for it's
four empty seats. This is an exciting opportunity to get involved on campus and
do some good for your peers! Applications are due on September 6th at
5pm. Application below.
Student
Conduct Council Application 2013-2014
FORMS DUE TO SBA VICE PRESIDENT
ANNA MORGAN LEONARDS (leonaam@millsaps.edu)
BY SEPTEMBER 6th
at 5:00pm
The Student Conduct Council is
composed of 11 voting members. Members are appointed as follows: two faculty
members appointed by the Senior Vice President & Dean of the College with
the approval of the President and 9 student members chosen through a selection
process with the Director of Campus Life and the Student Body Association. The
Student Conduct Council has partial jurisdiction over student disciplinary
cases.
The Millsaps Student Conduct System
is not intended to mirror that of any court system. The policies and procedures
used are not meant to resemble those in the criminal process. There is a
fundamental difference in the nature of student discipline and that of criminal
law. Student discipline is meant to maintain a positive living and learning
environment. The process is designed to help students make positive choices for
themselves, choosing self-responsibility instead of submitting to
peer-pressure, and to challenge them to accept responsibility for any negative
choices.
The Millsaps students, faculty and administrative officers have created
a Student Conduct Council to assure just, timely, and constructive resolution
of controversies arising from infractions of Millsaps College social and
disciplinary policies. Details describing the Student Conduct Council are found
in Student Body Association Constitution Article IV.
The Student Conduct Process and Student Conduct Council presume every
student charged with a violation to be not responsible until proven
responsible. The Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students (or the
Vice President for Student Life’s designee) serves as the advisor of the
Council. The designee/advisor does not vote.

Leadership Team
Member Application
Thank you for your interest in joining us on 1C1C Leadership
Team! We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting, in the meantime;
please fill out this profile so that we can get to know you better!

At
Millsaps, we are a diverse campus community with myriad interests and
obligations, but we stand united in our desire to be genuine neighbors. Being
good neighbors means developing real, face-to-face relationships. It means
going beyond patron-client, or benefactor-recipient, models of relationship
toward full and mutual partnership. It involves the recognition that while we
have much to offer, we also have much to learn and much to gain. This vision of
mutual engagement and transformation is the heart of 1 Campus 1 Community.
1
Campus 1 Community (1C1C) was formed in the fall of 2006 as the embodiment of
an institutional commitment to long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships
between Millsaps College and our off-campus neighbors. In conversation with
community partners from the Midtown neighborhood, K-12 public schools, and
throughout Jackson, 1C1C seeks to share resources and respond to identified
need, both inside and outside the Millsaps gates.
1C1C Leadership Team members mobilize their peers to get engaged
the community, facilitate annual 1C1C activities and events, and to
participate in capacity building meetings once or twice a month
There are no
wrong answers! This is not a quiz or a test. We want you to be YOU! Every kind
of person is important to the 1C1C Leadership Team!
1) What is it about the 1C1C vision and/or mission (see
above) that resonates with you?
2) What is community engagement?
3)
What motivates you to participate in community engagement?
4)
What is your most influential college experience thus far?
5)
Members of the 1C1C Leadership Team are expected to attend twice monthly
meetings in order to discuss upcoming projects as a group and reflect on past
projects. Are you willing and able to make this commitment?
6) There
will be opportunities for leaders of all styles to participate in projects as a
part of the 1C1C Leadership Team. You know yourself the best. What kind of
leader are you? Would you prefer to volunteer to lead a project during a
meeting, be assigned a project to lead by the fellows prior to a meeting, or
had you rather create your own project on your own time (with the support of
the fellows, of course, we won’t leave you hanging). Would you rather be a
committee member for a project? Would you like to coordinate a “Millsaps
Volunteer Project”? (This project would be similar to what was formally known
as CMT’s “Project Midtown.” 1C1C will be taking on the service elements of the
former CMT.)
7) What
other on campus or off campus organizations are you involved in? Are you
committed to any internships or jobs? (We are not asking these questions to see
how over-programmed you are—being involved in other on or off campus commitments
does not mean that you will not be able to have an integral role in the 1C1C Leadership
Team, we are just interested to see what interests you J
