Message from President Raines

Congratulations to the University of Memphis Men's Basketball Team, coached by John Calipari, for winning the southern regional of the NCAA tournament and making it to the Final Four and the NCAA championship game. We are very proud of the student-athletes, Coach Calipari and the coaching staff who worked tirelessly to achieve greatness by competing at the highest level.

I had the pleasure of watching our Men’s Basketball team progress through the NCAA tournament, winning game after game – focused, striving, reaching to achieve their goal. This reminded me of what all of our students, faculty and staff at University of Memphis are about – focused on understanding all they can about their field of study, striving to find new ways to solve problems, and reaching out to the community in which we live.

Thank you to our students, our faculty, our alums and the Memphis community for supporting our basketball team and our University. Your support enables us to achieve greatness in athletics and in all of our endeavors at the University of Memphis.

Inspired by our Tiger Team, we compete at the highest levels in both athletics and in academics. For those prospective students who are visiting our website, I encourage you to follow the lead of our extraordinary students in classrooms, laboratories, concert halls, theaters, internship sites, and in the community.
