The Initiative for Vocational Inquiry (IVI) embraces vocational exploration as a critical element of an education that forms individual persons in community to cultivate practices for the common good. IVI is a set of interlocking programs that engage Millsaps students with the Jackson community and the wider world. It consists of four distinct programs: a set of faculty-led courses in Community Engaged Learning (CEL); an academic minor in Vocation, Ethics, and Society (VESO); the Wellspring living and learning community; and the Center for Career Education. These interdependent programs are part of what makes Millsaps a vibrant place to live and learn.
