ALUMNI One of the University’s largest contributions to the greater community is our alumni. Many have become nationally and internationally renowned in their fields. More than a few have gone on to stardom as actors, authors, politicians and corporate executives. Locally, our alumni have made a huge impact on the community, especially in the fields of business, banking, law, education and the arts. More than 65,000 of our graduates live within a 40-mile radius of Memphis. With over 125,000 living alumni, the University of Memphis has actively worked to enlist all of them as ambassadors for the University and to increase the size of our Alumni Association. Membership has grown by over 1,000 percent over the last nine years, increasing from 1,117 to 12,000, the largest growth in U of M history. There are now over 70 clubs, chapters and areas of participation. Alumni play a vital role in the life of the University through philanthropy, volunteer participation, student recruitment and athletic support. The Alumni Association annually hosts over 300 events for alumni.
