    LGBT Support Groups
    Minority Support Groups: Although all Millsaps students are invited and encouraged to be part of all programs and organizations, Millsaps has developed various services and programs that offer specific support to its minority students. Millsaps' MultiCultural Director advises students and develops and supports minority programs on campus. Among these are "Best Start," an orientation program geared towards freshman, and the "MCA Diversity Group", which offers discussion sessions on societal issues for the campus community regarding diversity. "Passages, Poetry and Pastries" (PPP) is another MCA program created to inform and broaden the lives of our community about issues on diversity. PPP is a monthly theme-based program created to include students, faculty and staff and promotes the appreciation of all cultural perspectives through educational and social interaction. Additionally, there are several on-campus organizations and programs that offer peer support and help students and others recognize that belonging to a national or ethnic group does not necessarily imply unanimity to a prescribed set of beliefs or interests among its members. A significant factor in the richness of the Millsaps campus life is the cooperation between racial and ethnic groups and the subsequent awareness of the wider population. The Black Student Association, Millsaps Masala, and the Jewish Cultural Organization are other key groups that all work to serve this important function at Millsaps College.
