Faith and Work Initiative

The Millsaps Faith & Work Initiative cultivates both passion and compassion in leaders for the future. Students explore their personal and professional futures in relation to issues of ethics, values, faith, and the common good, and learn ways to build lives and careers that serve not just their own self-interest, but the interests of greater goods as well.

Our purpose is to help students become persons of passion and compassion who will lead lives shaped by:

• a deep understanding of calling and purpose
• a true understanding of self
• a broad understanding of the needs of the world

The Millsaps Faith & Work Initiative was started with funding through the Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation of the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
