happy to showyou around!

it won’t take long to see what people love about memphis.

this is a university—and a city—full of joy. you can hear it in

the roar of tiger fans at every game. you notice it in the warm

smiles you pass on campus. you can feel it when our students

get recognized nationally for their successes. And you see it

when another u of m discovery happens in our research labs.

We can’t wait to show you what memphis has that other

colleges don’t. We’re happy that you’re here.

memphis gives students the college experience that gets them

ready for real jobs, real life and the real world. While the campus

is in a quiet residential neighborhood, you are only minutes

from all that the big city has to offer. drive about 7 miles west

of campus and you’ll fi nd yourself on the banks of the mighty

mississippi river, with the funky rhythms of Beale street and

bustling downtown businesses not far away. if you go about 7

miles east of campus, you’ll fi nd yourself at shelby farms park,

a stunning natural treasure—fi ve times larger than nyC’s Central

park—with lakes, wetlands, forests and endless recreational

opportunities.

Where afriendly collegeatmosphere...

memphis is where the blues were born and rock ’n’ roll was

invented. With countless music and arts festivals, eclectic

restaurants, our world-famous BBQ, Beale street and graceland,

people travel from all over the globe for the chance to feel the

memphis vibe, even if it’s just for a little while. our students get

the chance to feel it and the experience stays with them forever.

And if you want resume-building opportunities, memphis

is where fedex, st. Jude Children’s research hospital, nike,

AutoZone, hilton, international paper and more giants of

business are headquartered or have a major presence.

We were ranked by U.S. News & World Report as having one

of the top 10 most successful internship programs in the nation.

...intersects withone of the coolest

cities in America.

the clock tower chiming, the main fountain glistening, leaves

turning in fall, a dogwood’s fi rst bloom in spring—the physical

beauty of our campus is warm and inviting. tucked away in an

intimate, residential neighborhood, our main campus is where

more than 21,000 students come to learn each year. the main

campus is 217 acres of tree-lined pathways winding around

historic buildings, as well as recently built contemporary spaces.

Wide open green spaces allow students and visitors to relax,

stroll or just be. Walking around is the only way to get a true

sense of what life is like at our university.

the Blue Line shuttle service picks up visitors and students at

18 different campus locations and gets them where they need

to be safely and conveniently. We are regularly ranked the safest

public university in tennessee thanks to innovative practices like

emergency phone kiosks, after-hours golf cart shuttles and a

24/7 security patrol.

A lot of people come to the u of m thinking they know us well.

they have seen our men’s basketball team on tv contending

for national championships. they know our graduates and hire

them every day.

But behind the caps and gowns, behind the wins and losses,

there is another amazing story to tell. our research capabilities

are world-class and a role model for other universities. our

unique relationship with the city means we can provide insights

to issues that are very specifi c to industries in urban settings.

for years, researchers at the u of m have been providing the

data innovators need. We uncover opportunities and do critical

work, serving as the catalyst for discoveries, inventions and

knowledge that wind up as real products in the marketplace or

as services benefi tting the public. many of them go global.

the u of m is a world-class research

university.

46 separate research units on campus

$152.4 million awarded in externalresearch support since 2011

Carnegie Foundation designationas a high research Activity university

research at the u of m led to the development of one of the world’s most successfulprograms to reduce criminal activity, Blue Crush. We invented it here in memphis,but Blue Crush is now being used across the u.s. and in europe.


At the u of m, we continue to add amenities that keep up with

what today’s students look for in college.

the beautiful landscape of our campus surrounds students

with the college feel they have been looking for in a setting that

makes them know they belong. students are always just a short

walk from friends, classrooms and activities. our residence halls

are part of a Living Learning Community, which brings students

together based on their major, so you live and learn with other

students who share your academic interests. there are currently

eight Living Learning halls on campus with more coming,

because research proves that students in this type of campus

living environment earn higher gpAs than those who don’t.

each unit consists of bedrooms and baths. some include a

large kitchen and common area, meeting and classroom space

and practice space for music majors, as well as a personal work

station and computer facilities.

We also offer a unique Living Learning Community just for fi rst-time

students called fresh Connections, which limits each community to

25 freshman students allowing for them to build close connections

in study groups and collaborate through this cool learning

experience. they take a “packaged” schedule together and work

with specially selected faculty to enrich their learning.

our campusmakes students

feel at home.

24 THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS | 2014-15 VISITORS GUIDE 2014-15 VISITORS GUIDE

In 1914, the U of M football team was known as the Blue

and Gray Warriors. After the fi nal game of that season, a few

students shouted, “We fi ght like tigers.” The nickname stuck,

but didn’t become offi cial until 1939. About 30 years ago, a live

Bengal tiger, named TOM, started attending all Tiger football

home games and other University events. TOM is housed and

cared for by an outside organization and travels in a climate-

controlled trailer. The current tiger is TOM III, the third live tiger

to represent our university in the past 30 years. The university

also has a costumed tiger mascot lovingly known as Pouncer.

Imagine a college that impacts the quality of life throughout an entire region. At the Herff College of

Engineering, we strive to do just that.


As you walk around our campus—or drive around town—you

will see 100 Centennial tigers, which marked the university’s

100th year anniversary in 2012. While the pose for each

tiger is the same, some of the area’s fi nest artists made each

tiger a piece of art. All 100 tiger statues were sponsored by

alumni, businesses and fans. the u of m Alumni Association

developed the idea for the Centennial tigers as another

way for the community to wrap their arms around this great

university. there is something special about the relationship

between the city of memphis and its hometown tigers. for

more than 100 years, the u of m has been a big part of the

creative vibe that makes memphis, memphis. And there’s no

other place like it in the world.

100 tigers marked 100 years.
