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.

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.

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.
