Made possible by more than $8.3 million in community support, the stadium will honor Liza’s legacy while providing a space where future generations of student-athletes can compete, grow and carry her light forward.

It’s time to look back at the past academic year and celebrate some big wins at the University of Memphis.

From record-setting research and fundraising to new academic programs, student housing and the completion of our stadium renovation, there was a lot of progress across the University.

And we’re heading into the new academic year with our strongest incoming freshman class academically in a decade.

Watch as President Hardgrave recaps our top accomplishments. There’s a lot to celebrate, and even more ahead!

“There is a true correlation between having clean communities and tourism, as folks want to visit places that are clean,” said Edmond McDavis III, director of the Tennessee Delta Alliance (TDA).

As a University of Memphis housed program in the Center for Regional Economic Enrichment, TDA works across West Tennessee to keep communities along the Mississippi River clean while supporting local tourism.

That work recently earned TDA the title of Non-Profit Recycler of the Year from the Tennessee Recycling Coalition.

Since 2022, TDA has collected nearly 23,000 pounds of trash, led community cleanups and supported pollinator gardens across five West Tennessee counties.

The work continues with 10 more cleanups already on the schedule.
