UofM English Graduate Organization
UMEGO supports the advancement of the academic and professional goals of its members and provides opportunities for networking with other graduate students and faculty in the Department of English. UMEGO proudly provides quality services to the English major graduate students. What differentiates UMEGO from other organizations is the ability to truly connect with our graduate students, faculty, and the University of Memphis. Any person taking a graduate course in the English department is eligible and encouraged to be a member of UMEGO. UMEGO does not require any dues at this time.
