With a population under 500,000, Jackson is small enough to feel like a close-knit community, but big enough to host abundant choices in entertainment, dining, shopping, and more.

Just outside the campus of Millsaps, there's plenty to see and do in Jackson, whether you choose the creative Fondren business and entertainment district to the north, the resurgent Midtown community to the west, the charming, historic Belhaven neighborhood to the east, or the city's vibrant downtown south of campus.

"Jackson has been integral to my learning experience at Millsaps," said senior Allie Jordan. "The greater Jackson community has been a main element to several of my classes, such as the Midtown area neighboring Millsaps. Jackson has provided me with excellent entertainment as well as ways for me to grow as an academic."

Summer Bailey is among Millsaps College graduates who want to make sure Mississippi's rural residents have access to medical care. A 2012 alumnus, Bailey is a first-year medical student at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, and a Mississippi Rural Physicians Program scholarship recipient. The program was authorized by the Mississippi Legislature in 2007 to help address the challenges of Mississippi's health care crisis.

The scholarship provides $30,000 a year during the four years of medical school. For every year of scholarship money a student receives, he or she is expected to practice in a rural area of Mississippi.

Of the 525 medical students at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, 46 are Millsaps graduates. Six of those graduates currently are scholars in the Mississippi Rural Physicians Program. At William Carey University, six of the 306 medical school students are Millsaps alumni, and two are in the Mississippi Rural Physician Scholarship Program.

Millsaps College has received a $1.4 million grant from the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute to redesign its science curriculum. The new curriculum is aimed at expanding the number of students interested in pre-medical education and deepening scientific training for all students.

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is a non-profit organization that ranks as one of the nation's largest philanthropies and plays a powerful role in advancing biomedical research and science education in the United States. Millsaps was selected from a nationwide pool of 187 schools as one of 47 colleges to receive an award based on the strength of its record in science education and the proposed initiative.

This grant builds on the College's stellar community of teacher-scholars, state-of-the-art laboratories and research oriented approach to the teaching of science.
