Millsaps will begin mailing tickets to faculty, staff, and students ,via campus mail, starting the week of March 15th. General public tickets will also be mailed the week of March 15th.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and support of the inaugural presentation of the Nova speaker series.

As we consider the goals of the Nova program, we are committed to offer the opportunity to view the Goodall presentation to as many students as possible. This objective stems from our long tradition of providing an extraordinary learning environment and educational opportunity to our students. In order to assure that we can seat more students than any other constituent, we have established the following ticket policy.

General Public Tickets

A limited number of tickets, costing $10 each, are available to the general public. All tickets will go on sale Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 8:30 a.m. To reserve tickets, call (601) 974-1020.

Faculty Tickets

All full-time, part-time and emeriti faculty who desire a ticket to Dr. Goodall's presentation may receive one ticket. To request a ticket, faculty must register via the Millsaps web site between February 26 at 8:30 a.m. and March 7 at 4:30 p.m. Phone calls and e-mail will not be accepted. Emeriti faculty, who still have a Millsaps user name, may use the web site or contact Rebecca Cockrell at (601) 974-1023.

Staff Tickets

All staff who desire a ticket may register for one ticket via the Millsaps web site. Up to 100 staff tickets will be made available. If less than 100 staff request a ticket, each request will be filled. If more than 100 staff request a ticket, we will conduct a random selection of 100 staff members via computer sorting. To request a ticket, staff must register via the Millsaps web site between February 26 at 8:30 a.m. and March 7 at 4:30 p.m. Phone calls and e-mail will not be accepted.

Student Tickets

All students interested in viewing Dr. Goodall's presentation in the Christian Center will be required to register for a ticket via the Millsaps web site. We have allocated 300 tickets to students, the most of any group, and nearly one-third the entire capacity. Should less than 300 students request tickets, all orders will be filled. The remaining tickets will go to a pool to meet additional demand from staff, faculty and the general public. Should more than 300 students request tickets, we will conduct a random selection of students via computer sorting. All students interested in viewing Dr. Goodall's lecture in person must register via the Millsaps web site between February 26 at 8:30 a.m. and March 7 at 4:30 p.m. Phone calls and e-mail will not be accepted.

Closed Circuit Viewing

We will provide closed circuit broadcast of Dr. Goodall's lecture in the AC Recital Hall and will be able to offer such viewing in AC 215, Olin 100 and Murrah 200, if needed. If you are interested in free tickets for the closed circuit presentation, please call 974-1020. A ticket will be required for the closed circuit viewing.

Registration on the Web

To register your desire for a ticket you must use the Millsaps web page. Registration will close at 4:30 p.m. on March 7. Tickets will be distributed after Spring Break. The web address for ticket registration is www.millsaps.edu/nova/jglot.shtml.

In closing, we thank you again for your patience and understanding. While not every person who desires a seat in the live presentation will receive one, we hope that the addition options being made available will allow all interested individuals to view Jane Goodall’s presentation.
