“1 Campus, 1 Community is not just a program or an office—it’s a movement...A movement to break down the boundaries between ‘us’ and ‘them’ so that together, we can build real and lasting partnerships that will change us all for the better.” -Dr. Darby Ray
1 Campus, 1 Community is not just a program or an office—it’s a
movement. A movement to transform the way we think about
community service and the way we relate to the off-campus
community. A movement away from the assumption that “we”
know or have what “they” need. A movement to break down the
boundaries between “us” and “them” so that together, we can
build real and lasting partnerships that will change us all for the
better. At Millsaps College, we are on the move to a new way
of being in community.
1 Campus, 1 Community is a campus-wide commitment to
engage the wider community in modes of full partnership and
mutual respect. It signals our intention as a college community to
work with community partners to identify challenges and
problems that we come together to address.
1 Campus, 1 Community is an invitation to open our eyes and
hearts to the needs and blessings that are close at hand: the
neighborhood across the street, the public school around the
corner. Consider yourself invited!
The 1 Campus, 1 Community Center for Engaged Learning and
Living maintains a database of community partners, projects, and
needs and connects interested individuals and groups to these
constituencies. We cultivate positive relationships with
community partners, and we work with campus organizations
and academic programs from across the college to promote,
coordinate, track, and assess community engagement efforts.
Each year, we help connect Millsaps students, faculty, and staff
to service opportunities, and we encourage the building of long-
lasting partnerships between the college and the community.
“Millsaps is the only one that
comes over and does things in Midtown and
with Midtown"
