Memphis is known for a lot of things. You may already know about our musical heritage, our civil rights history, our barbecue and our entrepreneurial spirit. Many successful businesses were birthed in Memphis – FedEx®, Holiday Inn® and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, to name a few. The first self-service grocery store, the first motel chain, the first outlet mall and the first overnight package delivery company were all started here.
Our city embodies our University’s motto – Dreamers. Thinkers. Doers. – but it is more than our motto. It is who we are as a university, and as a city. Our 23,000 students embody the University’s motto as well. They are part of the largest honors program in the state. They study abroad in 40 different countries. They conduct research at facilities like our FedEx Institute of Technology. They study in rigorous, nationally ranked academic programs.
They are the next generation of Dreamers. Thinkers. Doers. wm.memphis.edu
