Students attend Mississippi-Alabama Sociological Association Conference
On Thursday, February 26 a group of Millsaps students presented research at the 35th annual meeting of the Mississippi-Alabama Sociological Association. Eleven Millsapians presented research papers they had prepared during the previous schoolyear for classes such as Social/Cultural Theory and Senior Seminar. A wide variety of topics were presented and discussed by Millsaps students, who constituted the majority of participants in this year's undergraduate paper competition. Several examples of students' papers are posted below for your perusal.
