Supporting CLA Student Success and Opportunities
The University of Mississippi supports our students in many different kinds of ways, resulting in an extremely high retention rate of students.
We encourage our students to be involved on campus in order to exercise those skills of communication, leadership, working in a team, taking the initiative, time management, and other skills desired in life and work. Employer surveys tell us that they are more willing to hire college graduates who have had an internship, studied abroad, and engaged in community service. Therefore, we present ways that our university is helping students connect with opportunities off campus that will enrich their college experience and help prepare them for the world afterwards.
The following lists are not meant to be exhaustive.
