We had an eventful first day at the Millsaps College International Business Advantage Program (IBAP)! All of the students settled into the residence halls on campus in Jackson, Mississippi, & we had a great lunch with their families in Millsaps' cafeteria, affectionately known as the Caf'.Students enjoyed a campus tour before heading off to their first official sessions. Harvey Fiser & Jane Collins answered questions students had about the week, gave an overview of the program, & assigned research assignments. Mathew Cox, Dean of Enrollment Management, spoke with students about the college admissions process & ways they can make their application & resume stand out within an applicant pool.
After class, we went to Blockbuster to grab movies for the week, to dinner at Pizza Shack & Marble Slab. Students watched a movie & chatted in the hallway until we retired to bed around midnight. We are looking forward to another busy day today as students work on their Spanish skills with Ramon Figueroa, a professor from our Modern Languages Department, before sitting in on a college class of their choice.
