Biology Department Hosts Students Visiting from Galloway Elementary

A group of students from Galloway Elementary School visited the Millsaps campus in spring, 2007. While on campus they were treated to a tour of the biology department, housed in Olin Hall. Microscopes, skeletons, and fish feeding were a few of the things discussed as the students got a taste of college life.
