The Marcus W. Orr Center for the Humanities (MOCH)

MOCH promotes endeavors that transcend the confines of a single discipline. We stage events that will stimulate broad interest, that foster a vibrant intellectual culture, that create community conversations. Partnering with university departments and Memphis institutions, we bring speakers to campus who can address vital questions about the big ideas that shape our world.

Our motto at the University of Memphis is "Dreamers, Thinkers, Doers." MOCH is the premier institutional space on campus for making this vision a reality. Please join us for our events throughout the year.

Aram Goudsouzian, Director
