Catalog Site Map Orientation and Advisement Orientation and Perspectives are Millsaps programs designed to ease the transition to college life.
Orientation occurs the four days before classes start.
These days are filled with helpful and fun activities which prepare students for life on campus and introduce them to their classmates. Perspectives is a course for new students which explores the issues facing college students and the roles that they play on campus. This course, led by faculty, staff and upper-class students, gives new students a forum for discussion of key issues and concerns. A faculty member is assigned to serve as a student's initial advisor. This person remains a student's advisor until the time that the student declares a major.
