HISTORICAL HERITAGEFor the last 108 years, the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city, the State of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. As a doctoral degree-granting metropolitan research university, we are committed to excellence at all levels: undergraduate, graduate and professional. The University of Memphis’ roots date back to 1912 when it began as West Tennessee State Normal School and its main purpose was to educate public school teachers. While our name has changed several times throughout the years, the University has continued to be guided by the principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity. In 1968, it saw its first doctoral graduate, and since its doors first opened has conferred more than 160,000 degrees. The main campus lies in the heart of a widespread metropolis and combines the convenience of a large city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood. Additionally, the University consists of several satellite campuses, including Collierville, Dyersburg, Millington and Jackson, Tenn. In 2011, the University of Memphis obtained the Lambuth University campus and now offers four-year degrees at what is now the University of Memphis Lambuth. The University of Memphis awards more than 4,000 degrees annually. Divisions of the study include the College of Arts & Sciences, Fogelman College of Business & Economics, the College of Communication and Fine Arts, the College of Education, Herff College of Engineering, Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality & Resort Management, Loewenberg College of Nursing, College of Professional & Liberal Studies, Graduate School, Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Public Health and School of Health Studies. The University offers 17 bachelor’s degrees in more than 250 areas of study, master’s degrees in more than 54 subjects, doctoral degrees in 26 disciplines, a specialist’s degree in education, the Juris Doctor and many online degree programs. Reflecting on its commitment to the highest levels of excellence in teaching and national prominence in research, the University of Memphis has five Centers of Excellence and 24 Chairs of Excellence. Its full-time faculty number more than 940. Our wireless campus educates more than 20,000 students each year. Our faculty have won national awards ranging from Emmys and Grammys to the prestigious Peabody Award. In later years, the campus has seen recent changes and additions including the opening of the Community Health Building, Centennial Place, the Hunter Harrison Memorial Bridge and the Kemmons Wilson Culinary Institute. The Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law is housed in the historic U.S. Customs House and Post Office in downtown Memphis. While instruction, service and research are our primary emphases, the University also commits its resources to the social, cultural and economic welfare of the region through partnerships with many public and private organizations. As we continue to move forward, the University of Memphis is poised to enhance its national and international reputation as one of America’s great metropolitan research universities.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION The Student Government Association is the voice of students at the University of Memphis. The SGA is comprised of three branches of government: executive, judicial (Student Court) and legislative (Senate). Elections are held in April. The SGA funds travel for individual students and organizations, including trips to conferences relating to the student’s field of academic interest and leadership conferences. It sponsors Frosh Camp to help incoming first-time freshmen establish friendships, learn about what is offered on campus, begin the adjustment to college life, and have a successful first year. The SGA also sponsors the Mr. and Ms. UofM contest during football homecoming each fall. Student senators present resolutions as bills to the Student Senate for benefit of the general student body.

UNDERGRADUATE CANDIDATES FOR DEGREES GRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION

Based on a grading system of “A” as 4.0, three designations of graduation honors are recognized.*

Summa cum laude, with Highest Distinction, 3.80-4.00: gold cord

Magna cum laude, with High Distinction, 3.50-3.79: crimson cord

Cum laude, with Distinction, 3.25-3.49: white cord

GRADUATION WITH HONORSStudents may earn Honors distinction by meeting requirements of the campus-wide University Honors Program and/or fulfilling requirements for departmental honors programs. These requirements involve a combination of special honors coursework, independent study, and usually an honors thesis or project. Students who successfully complete University Honors Program requirements are awarded their degrees with honors (e.g., University Honors or University Honors with Thesis). Students completing departmental honors programs are awarded their degree with honors in their area of concentration (e.g., With Honors in English).

Undergraduate 4.0--4.0’s are determined by looking at an undergraduate student’s overall undergraduate studies (entire transcript/entire undergraduate career: Every undergraduate course taken must be an A or better) to determine a 4.0 GPA.

Student Marshal(s): Each undergraduate College and School will identify the undergraduate student(s) with the highest GPA in their overall undergraduate studies to act as its Student Marshal. Student Marshals are recognized by their Marshal’s medallion and will lead the college across the stage.

*Note: The commencement program is a roster of candidates, not an official list of graduates. Appropriate degrees and honors will be awarded to candidates who successfully complete all requirements by established deadlines. The posting of the earned degree on the official university transcript is the institution’s affirmation of possession of the degree.

*Note: Because of time limitations imposed in preparing this program for commencement, listing for graduation with distinction was based on a minimum of forty-two (42) semester hours at the University of Memphis and the grade point average as of the term prior to the final semester.

Your connection to this campus does not end when you graduate.

When you join the UofM Alumni Association, you’re not just giving back to a school- you’re giving back to a community and a growing, vibrant network of fellow Tigers. Your dues mean more than a membership. They help support student scholarships, alumni programs and events, while also increasing national rankings of the University of Memphis.

The University of Memphis community is proud and diverse. We stretch across

the state and around the globe. As you leave campus to share your talents with the

world, the UofM Alumni Association is right beside you, keeping you connected to more

than 130,000 fellow Tigers. Our mission is to engage alumni, former students and friends in

three challenges: advocating the ideals of the University, advancing its welfare and fostering life-

long relationships with the institution. The Alumni Association supports academics at the University of

Memphis with more than 55 student scholarships and 11 faculty and staff awards for Excellence in Teaching,

Research and Advising. The annual Distinguished Alumni Awards are hosted by the Alumni Association to

recognize and highlight a select number of notable alumni.

The University of Memphis honors those who graduated 50 years ago with the Half Century Club Induction. This

induction occurs yearly at the beginning of the Summer Commencement ceremony. Each member receives a

medallion symbolizing the significant milestone.

Current graduating UofM students who are members of the Alumni Association through the Future Alumni of

Memphis (FAM) or Young Alumni programs are distinguished by wearing a Tiger Blue stole during Commencement.

The Alumni Association is pleased to provide a complimentary Gray Membership to our new graduates. Get

involved by mentoring a current student, supporting a scholarship or joining an alumni club or chapter based on

academics or a specific interest. Moving after graduation? Join a club in your area. Socialize with other Tigers

at the annual Homecoming Parade or at a watch party. Network at one of the hundreds of events and meetings

throughout the year. But most importantly, help make Memphis stronger and continue your membership in the

Alumni Association!

COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION AND FINE ARTSDean, Anne Hogan, PhD

The College of Communication and Fine Arts is ultimately centered on visual and audible symbols whose rational and emotional values it is the mission of the College to create and explore. In the belief that perception is largely shaped by experience, the College of Communication and Fine Arts offers a range of symbolically rendered experiences, both individual and collective, in the hope of broadening and sensitizing the perceptions of its students. Through its various professional courses of study, it prepares students to work toward careers in architecture and design, the fine or applied arts, communication, or the performing arts, whether as practitioners, teachers, artists, or consultants. The College offers seven degrees by which to accomplish its purposes:

The College holds the distinction of being one of the few in the nation to meet, without a weakness, National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards. In addition to high-quality classroom instruction, most programs are field based. Practical experiences and opportunities for participation in exciting hands-on training and research exist at our award winning Campus School, the Barbara K. Lipman Early Childhood School and Research Institute, our local Professional Development Schools, the nationally known Center for Research in Educational Policy, and internship programs in various community businesses and agencies, all where experts in the student’s field of study and University faculty work together to provide valuable on the-job experience. The College offers off-campus courses at our Collierville, Jackson, and Dyersburg campuses and is a state leader in alternative online degree and licensure programs.

It is the work within a specialty that determines a student’s major. Graduate level studies at the College include 29 Master’s and 17 Doctoral degree programs. And, in administering 33 teacher licensure programs, The College of Education is the largest producer of teachers in Tennessee.
