What is Young Alumni?

The University of Memphis Alumni Association is a non-profit organization existing to build FRIENDS of the University and advance, connect and engage the U of M family. Involvement in the Alumni Association is the perfect way to give back to the University. The better the U of M and the Alumni Association are, the more YOUR degree is worth.

Through YOUNG ALUMNI you can:

Meet and interact with your fellow Young Alumni at various events.
Attend watch parties for select Tiger basketball and football games.
Networking opportunities with recent graduates who are already established in their professional careers.
Help fund the Young Alumni Legacy Scholarship.
Stay connected to the U of M and give back to the University that did so much for you as well as the students who will follow in your footsteps.
