SUMMARY: Mississippi College, a historic institution in Clinton, will change its name to Mississippi Christian University, as announced by the Board of Trustees on November 18.

Installing security cameras is also suggested for real-time monitoring. Scott emphasizes the importance of planning ahead when ordering gifts, as replacements may not arrive in time for Christmas.
