A Message from the Vice President for Student Affairs

Welcome to the Tiger family! The Division of Student Affairs at The University of Memphis is responsible for ensuring you have the opportunity to THRIVE at the UofM!

Your UofM journey stretches far beyond the classroom. From exploring careers and gaining experience in how you will make a living to engaging in opportunities that will inform you about how you will create a fulfilling life, our goal is to connect you to each other and the myriad of opportunities available to you at the UofM.

You will have the opportunity to fully engage in the campus experience through living on campus, dining on campus, participating in events, serving the community, exploring leadership opportunities, trying new things, caring for yourself and developing a better understanding of your beliefs and values. We are firmly committed to a robust and meaningful student experience that contributes to your success as a student and your development as a community member who can make a difference locally and globally!

We believe in you and what you can achieve as a Tiger! You’ve got this, and we’ve got you!

Go, Tigers, Go!
