FROM THE

PRESIDENT Dear Alumni and Friends: The University of Memphis is at a historic milestone as we begin our second century.

We have a unique opportunity to build on 100 years of steady growth, service to the community and a multitude of educational and research achievements. We are confident that with your help, the University of Memphis can become one of America’s great metropolitan research universities.

The University recently launched Empowering the Dream, a major $250 million comprehensive campaign that celebrates our first century and lays the foundation for our next 100 years. It is our most ambitious campaign ever and will provide a means to enrich the research being conducted by our faculty while enhancing the educational experiences of our students.

While the campaign is comprehensive, there are three main areas where the University is looking for additional support.

Retaining and attracting world-class faculty is vital to our mission of becoming a major metropolitan research institution. We can achieve this by offering additional endowed professorships and chairs to faculty members who will not only raise our research profile, but also increase the educational attainment of our students. Our goal is to have 10 percent of our faculty supported through named professorships and chairs. Your gift is critical in our ability to support faculty.

The University also needs to attract the best and brightest students from around the world. We already have the state’s largest honors program, but we need to offer additional endowed scholarships to first generation college students and returning adult students. The campaign will also allow us to add fellowships, which will enable us to compete with other universities for talented graduate students.

Unprecedented growth at the University has meant that several of our leading programs have outgrown their current facilities. The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, Loewenberg School of Nursing and School of Communication Sciences and Disorders are all bulging at the seams and need new space to grow. These programs have had to turn away high-caliber students because we simply do not have the room to accommodate them, even when there is a shortage of professionals to fill job vacancies.

With your gifts, we will build comprehensive and unrivaled centers of research and learning for these nationally recognized programs. The Athletics Department will benefit, too, with a much-needed new indoor practice facility for football.

Thanks to the thousands of alumni and friends of the University who have already pledged their support through donations, our campaign is well on its way. About 74 percent of the $250 million goal was raised before the campaign officially kicked off in September.

Our most heartfelt thanks go out to the more than 130 volunteers who are devoting their time to the “Empowering the Dream” campaign. We are especially grateful to Charles and Judy Burkett for their leadership. Charles is a member of our Board of Visitors and a former president of First Tennessee Bank.

Through partnerships with alumni, friends and community leaders, the University of Memphis will realize its goal of becoming one of America’s great metropolitan research universities. Your gift will empower the next century of Dreamers Thinkers and Doers.

Please join us by giving to the Centennial Campaign and leave your mark on the University of Memphis and our next century.

Sincerely,

Shirley C. Raines, President THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Into Africa University of Memphis student Francis Jordan doesn’t surf the Internet to get her daily dose of adrenaline — she just takes a peek outside her window.

“My very first night, I looked out at 4 a.m. and several lions had taken down a water buffalo,” says Jordan. “And it is not uncommon to see elephants wandering through the camp.”

Jordan works at a rural health care clinic in Kenya, providing health care for the Maasai tribe. But as night falls over the Masai Mara Wildlife Refuge, a simple click of the mouse means Jordan assumes the role of U of M student.

Phantom of the Opera coming to U of M As the organ blasts the first piercing note of the overture, the University of Memphis will continue to make history in a milestone year. The University will present the Mid-South’s first amateur production of The Phantom of the Opera in February 2012 as part of its centennial celebration.

This custom-made performance features only U of M students and faculty on and off stage.

“I want this to be a home-grown U of M production,” says director Bob Hetherington, Phantom director and chair of the Department of Theatre & Dance.

Hetherington opened casting to U of M students, finding 30 actors for all but the title position. Copeland Woodruff, co-director of U of M Opera Activities, was cast as the lead of the Phantom.

Amanda Boyd, a vocal performance graduate student, and Christina Hernandez, junior musical theatre major, will split the lead female role of Christine Daaé. The more than 100 backstage crew members are also all students.

The production is a collaboration of the Department of Theatre & Dance and the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music. The pair work together for performances every two years, but this is their largest project ever, Hetherington says.

Getting the rights to Phantom wasn’t easy for Hetherington. After a year of contacting R&H Theatricals and three months of “wearing them down,” the U of M was given permission to stage the seventime Tony Award-winning show.

Previously, the production was off-limits to any amateur theatre.

Now only colleges and high schools are allowed to perform Phantom.

This is not the first time the Theatre & Dance department led the theatrical forefront. In 1970, the University was the first place outside of New York City to do a production of Hair.

Based on a 1910 gothic novel, The Phantom of the Opera follows the story of a masked man living beneath the stage of the Paris Opera House.

In the musical, the ghostly man, known as the Phantom, torments the cast and crew of the opera house. After years of tutoring Christine, a singer from the opera’s chorus, the Phantom falls in love with her. Intended as an act of love, he demands she be cast as the lead in all shows. Instead, Christine falls in love with another man, an action that enrages the Phantom. The breadth of his anger is unlike anything Christine has ever witnessed.

(Bottom) U of M students Amanda Boyd (left) and Christina Hernandez (right) rehearse vocals for the character Christine Daaé with Jacob Allen, assistant professor of music.

The production’s magnitude spans from the number of cast and crew to the enormity of the sets and number of costumes.

Mirroring Broadway standards, the role of Christine is double-cast so the actresses have vocal rest between performances. Songs require a more than two octave broader vocal range than most sopranos sing. An actress risks straining vocal cords if she sings in every performance.

The grand sets are both majestic in design and size. Students will create everything from the opera boxes on the sides of the stage to the magnificent staircase of Act II. These areas require large spaces in the wings and backstage. To fit everything, all sets will be switched from the scene shop at intermission.

For the chandelier, one of the most famous elements of the show, the U of M will rent a replica from ZFX Flying Effects, a company that specializes in flying effects that have been used in Peter Pan The Musical and The Wizard of Oz productions.

The 31 actors require more than 160 costumes. About 85 percent of the costumes will be rented due to time constraints.

Fabric and supplies for the remaining garments were purchased from warehouses in New York City and local shops. These outfits will either be created by the U of M costume shop or outsourced on a made-to-order basis.

The principal actors began preparing immediately after casting in September.

Woodruff practices the entire score for his role of Phantom daily. The 50 minutes it takes to sing every line helps him vocally understand the marathon nature of the show.

“We have a really serious advantage,” Christina Hernandez says.

“At least for me, I have time now to get this music memorized before we even start. I feel really good about the amount of time that we have to get ready.”

On the prowl Rubbing a rabbit’s foot brings luck, so why wouldn’t rubbing a tiger’s paw do the same? A new tradition for luck is coming to the University of Memphis, but it first has to travel 1,400 miles to get here.

When the bronze statue of TOM makes the journey from Lander, Wyo., to the U of M, the University community is invited to participate in the traditions of rubbing the tiger’s front paw for luck or posing next to the statue for a photo in cap and gown.

These traditions will begin once the statue is unveiled during “Alumni Reunion Weekend” on April 20, 2012.

Noted sculptor David Alan Clark, who created the statue of Tom Lee near the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis, is designing a bronze statue that will be permanently placed near the front of the University Center.

Sculptor David Alan Clark, who is also known for creating the Tom Lee Park bronze rescue-scene statue, developed the idea for a regal Bengal statue with the guidance of the Bronze Tiger Committee.

“My interpretation (of the committee’s wants) was to put the tiger

Your Gift of an IRA For many, the money accumulated through the years in retirement plans (such as TIAA-CREF) represents a significant percentage of their total assets. Assets you hope will simply pass to your heirs from your qualified retirement account are often among the most heavily taxed assets in your estate.

If you are interested in supporting the University of Memphis through a bequest, a qualified retirement plan or IRA may be the best asset to use. When you make the UofM Foundation the beneficiary of your retirement plan, you may eliminate any income or estate taxes on the funds in the plan.

The UofM Foundation will receive 100% of your gift of retirement assets. By contrast, if you left these same assets directly to heirs, they could receive as little as 20%.

Why not let the University of Memphis put those assets to best use?

Tiger soccer nets record-breaking season It took Christabel Oduro less than 45 minutes to help the Memphis women’s soccer team erase four years of frustration and continue a magical season. By game’s end, the sophomore had set an NCAA tournament record for most points in a contest, and tied another one for goals.

Oduro neatly packaged a hat-trick in the first half and added a second-half goal to help the Tigers record their first-ever NCAA tournament win, a 7-0 shutout of UT-Martin last month at Mike Rose Soccer Complex.

“Shoeless” Sherrod lands C-USA Player of Year honor Memphis sophomore forward Mark Sherrod of Knoxville gained “legendary” status among friends and peers after he scored a goal against Bradley earlier this year after losing one of his trademark purple shoes on the pitch — the video of the goal even went virile on Youtube. But it is what he did the entire season that is garnering him even bigger praise.

Empowering the dream

The U of M’s most ambitious fundraising drive will allow the University to attract additional world-class faculty, foster innovative research and enhance learning experiences with cutting-edge facilities.

In terms of the economic returns it will generate, the University of Memphis’ centennial campaign is a no-brainer. For the thousands of students who will benefit intellectually, it will mean unrivaled learning facilities and new scholarship opportunities.

The U of M has launched the most ambitious fundraising initiative in its 100-year history — Empowering the Dream, a comprehensive campaign with a goal of $250 million by June 2013.

The campaign will add sparkling new learning facilities for three of the U of M’s highly regarded programs: music, nursing, and communication sciences and disorders. It will foster innovative research, allow for the hiring of leading scholars in all disciplines and endow scholarships and fellowships.

About $12 million of the funds have gone toward the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law and its move downtown. A new indoor practice facility for athletics is also included.

“If you look at the economic indicators of what the U of M means to the community, it’s been $1.5 to $2 billion per year,” says Charles Burkett, who, along with his wife Judy, is chairing the campaign, which has already raised more than $188 million of the quarter-of-a-billion dollar goal.

Burkett, a First Tennessee Banking executive, has become an expert of sorts when it comes to lauding the U of M’s accomplishments as well as championing its needs: he is chair of the U of M’s Board of Visitors, an advisory board made up of the area’s business and civic leaders.

“How many people in our community know that the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law often has the highest pass rate on the bar exam of any university in the state?” he says. “The statistics also are remarkable for the Loewenberg School of Nursing, in that 100 percent of those students recently passed the national exam required for nurses.”

Loewenberg has also been one of the most visible schools on campus, frequently sending student-nurses into community health clinics in Third World countries as well as locally.

Dr. Lin Zhan, dean of the nursing school, says students and the Memphis metropolitan area will both benefit as a result of the campaign.

“The investment in a new facility will help us to not turn away hundreds of qualified applicants who want to be dreamers, thinkers and doers,” she says, “and it will have a good return. Simply, an additional 100 nurses who are educated as a result of a new building will generate at least $10 million annually for our economy.”

In response to a recent nursing shortage, Loewenberg doubled its enrollment over the past five years to about 1,000 and added a graduate nursing program. Many are turned away because of space limitations — a new building would house approximately 1,500.

Zhan and Dr. Maurice Mendel, dean of the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, will share an interdisciplinary learning complex that will house offices, laboratories, classrooms and clinics. Zhan’s students currently are scattered THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Some of the funding for the Empowering the Dream campaign will go toward construction of a new Music Center, which will house the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music and give students unrivaled learning and performance facilities.

across campus because of the lack of a comprehensive facility while Mendel’s are at three separate locations throughout the city.

“In order to remain a top-ranked graduate program, we desperately need a facility that will allow the program to grow and prosper,” says Mendel. “State-of-the-art research facilities, additional classroom space equipped with the latest technology and clinic space better equipped to provide hands-on training for our students will allow us to prepare more students while continuing to meet the many speech and hearing needs of the Mid-South community.”

The School’s audiology program has been ranked as high as sixth and speechlanguage pathology as high as 12th in the country by U.S. News and World Report.

One of the University’s sparkling gems, the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, will also benefit with a cleverly designed Music Center. The School is also in dire need of a larger facility to meet a growing student population.

“The current music building was constructed in 1967 to accommodate 250 students and 18 faculty,” says School of Music director Randal Rushing. “It now serves 500 students and more than 63 full- and part-time faculty. The new Music Center will serve some 650 students and 73 faculty.”

Rushing says the new Music Center will allow faculty to offer students quality music education without the distractions of an inadequate and deteriorating facility.

“By adding multi-functional and technologically enhanced classrooms, rehearsal spaces and performance halls, students will benefit from pursuing their degrees in an environment in which the most advanced resources and facilities are available for their use.”

The Music Center will also serve as the new “front door” of the University off of Highland Avenue. With 200,000 square feet, it will feature a main-stage theatre, master classroom/recital hall, studiotheatre, practice facilities, state-of-the-art rehearsal rooms, classrooms and recording studios. Initial designs have been developed for the building.

Endowed in 2000 by Rudi and Honey Scheidt, the School of Music has the distinction of being Tennessee’s only doctoral degree-granting program in music.

The timing of the campaign is “ideal,” Burkett adds.

“It coincides with the University’s celebration of its centennial anniversary,” he says. “When you look at what’s happening at the University – its steadily increasing student body and the rising academic qualifications of its students, its successful recruitment, retention, and support of outstanding faculty, and its revitalized and beautified campus – you can’t help but want to be involved in the University’s future.”

Burkett stresses that this is a comprehensive campaign. Every gift, regardless of its size and designation, is considered important.

“We want everybody to feel they are a part of this. It’s going to be a success if everybody gives something.”

U of M President Shirley Raines says the campaign is essential to the U of M’s continued growth.

“More than 130 individuals and couples are involved in this campaign through their leadership,” she says. “Their endorsements and enthusiasm for this major metropolitan university are encouraging to our almost 2,500 employees and 23,000 students. Community leaders realize that when the University succeeds, the city of Memphis benefits, and so do the state and the region.

Empowering the Dream will continue through June 30, 2013.

FALL 2011

Touché

By Gabrielle Maxey As a student at the University of Memphis, Tom Knowles needed one credit to fulfill a physical education requirement. Skimming the course catalog, he registered for fencing. It must have been a direct hit. More than 20 years later, Knowles teaches that same fencing class at the U of M. He also coaches the fencing teams at Christian Brothers High School and St. George’s Independent School, and is forming one at the new Collegiate School of Memphis. He and his wife, Julie, own the Collierville Arts Academy and the Memphis Arts Academy in the CooperYoung district.

Knowles (BM ’91) teaches fencing, padded weapons courses and unarmed martial arts courses. The schools also offer classes in dance, music, arts and yoga.

Some students may get their first taste of fencing through the movies, with thoughts of becoming Jedi knights, dashing Zorro-like swashbucklers or gladiator. But Knowles takes the sport seriously – there’s no leaping from tables or swinging from ropes in his classes.

For Knowles, the sport blends an Old World essence of romanticism with modern technology. “The basic challenge remains unchanged. It’s just that we aren’t doing it to hurt, like in the days of dueling,” Knowles says. “The intensity of real sword fighting is immediate and personal.

It’s this continual test of one’s abilities against another’s through swords that I think fencers find most attractive.”

Fencers compete with one of three weapons — foil, epee or sabre. It’s not a sport that demands power or exceptional physical attributes in the way basketball or football do, Knowles says. “Fencing is a sport of finesse, timing, tactics and awareness. By learning and understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, and by eliminating the negatives while emphasizing the positives, a fencer can progress and become champion material.”

The sport offers a level playing field between men and women, Knowles says. He receives more than twice as many calls about fencing classes from women as men.

And unlike many sports, fencing can be practiced by the young and old. “I have students as young as 7 taking their first steps in fencing, but I’ve also seen fencers in their 80s at national events,” he says.

Tom Knowles, a 1991 U of M graduate, teaches fencing at area high schools. He also owns two fencing academies in Shelby County.

ALUMNI REVIEW

Alumni centennial reflections Jon McGlothian

(EMBA ’97) Co-founder and president of The Mt. Olivet Group, a project management firm that provides support services to the military, government and corporations Invaluable education: “What makes me a unique graduate of the U of M is that I am not from Memphis nor do I currently reside in the Memphis area. After I left the Army, my family settled in Memphis. I needed to have additional training and education in business, and the EMBA program provided me that opportunity. I had the privilege and honor to learn about the business world from both my professors and my classmates in a rigorous academic environment. Over the years, I have kept in touch with several of my professors and classmates as I progressed through my business career. The education that the University provided, coupled with my professors and classmates, has proven to be invaluable to me.”

Fondest memory: “I had the opportunity to work with the Fogelman College of Business & Economics Alumni Association. It was a wonderful feeling to be a part of growing the Association’s status within the business community through our annual Business Luncheon. Through this effort we had an opportunity to honor local business leaders who as alumni had a positive impact on the business community. It was also great to have been a part of the fundraising efforts for the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management.”

U of M’s legacy: “The U of M’s legacy is to serve as the focal point for academia, sports and business relations within the local community.”

Laurie Tucker

(BBA ’78, MBA ’83) Senior vice president of corporate marketing for FedEx Fondest memory: “My fondest memories were attending Memphis State Tiger basketball games in the Coliseum. I never missed a home basketball game. My second favorite memory was sharing my graduation from Graduate School with my brother who was receiving his undergraduate degree in 1983. My mom was so proud!”

Selecting the U of M: “My mother was my greatest influence in life.

She was a graduate, so I knew I wanted to be a Memphis State Tiger as well. Initially, I wanted to teach as my mother had done. However, I became interested in business and was able to complete a degree in accounting, which assured me of a strong job offer right out of college.”

U of M pride: “The University advances despite the financial challenges resulting from state funding. Rather than lowering its standard or reducing services, the University and its committed leadership have pushed forward to create a top school in the state, and even in the country. I am proud to be a Tiger!”

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

ALUMNI REVIEW

Theresa Montgomery Okwumabua (PhD ’82) U of M assistant visiting professor and outreach coordinator for the U of M Department of Psychology Selecting the U of M: “It offered an educational opportunity in my area of interest. The University was relatively close to home, so I would be able to get back and forth from home in Atlanta to Memphis without much difficulty.”

Giving back to the Memphis community: “I give back to the U of M as well as the community through my outreach initiatives. As the coordinator of the Community Outreach Lab in the Department of Psychology, I assist University students as they work with community stakeholders in efforts to prevent youth, especially at-risk youth, from engaging in a host of health and life-compromising behaviors, like drinking, using drugs, sexual activity at a young age or dropping out of school. I also give back through Memphis STEPS, a campus-based suicide prevention initiative. As part of this initiative, I also conduct workshops and other educational efforts on suicide prevention for the general community.”

Future of U of M: “I think the future is very bright for the U of M. The University has established itself as an urban institution of higher education, and the emphasis on research and scholarship will keep it positioned as a viable institution of higher education.”

James C. Chumney (BS ’57) Retired U of M professor of history U of M’s influence: “The University experience opened my mind to exciting new knowledge about human institutions, values and problems. It helped me develop a lifelong desire to learn more and live according to higher standards. I am especially appreciative of the wise and well-educated professors who were excellent role models.”

U of M’s legacy: “The U of M has provided an opportunity for many people, like myself, who were not as affluent, but ambitious, to obtain a great education.

For those willing to apply themselves, it opens the door to a better life.”

Giving back to the Memphis community: “As a history professor at the U of M for 46 years, I have been privileged to influence thousands of students.

I especially enjoyed being faculty adviser for Omicron Delta Kappa, a national campus leadership society, from 1967 through 2011 and worked with the very best student leaders. My research on the history of the University has been shared both on campus and in the community, where I have often given presentations on historical topics to civic and social groups.”

State of the Association 2010 - 2011 Annual Report University of Memphis Alumni Association & Alumni and Constituent Relations

Membership Initiatives The University of Memphis Alumni Association and its related programs continue our focus to inspire and cultivate alumni affinity and involvement, and to enhance the image and reputation of the University of Memphis and the Association that serves our University. Although the Alumni Association continues to coordinate its annual events, much of the past year has centered around the planning of centennial events and the manner in which all areas of the Association will honor the University’s 100th birthday.

Centennial Initiatives The Alumni Association is hosting five anchor events. These events are the cornerstone of the Association’s celebration of the University’s centennial, as well as being among the weighted events for the overall University celebration. In addition, every area of the Association will participate in the centennial celebration through visible marketing initiatives and detailing. In some clubs, chapters and areas of participation, special one-time events are being planned. The anchor events include:

around Memphis beginning in early 2012 and will remain throughout the year. We hope that Tigers Around Town will not only bring many alumni back to campus, but will also help build awareness of the integral relationship between the University and the city of Memphis.

Reunion Weekend April 20-22, 2012 – Through our work with academic departments and colleges, alumni groups and student organizations, we are focusing on one weekend in the spring where everyone can gather on campus and attend several events.

Tigers Around Town To celebrate the University’s centennial, the Alumni Association “let the cat out of the bag” in September, introducing 100 life-size Tiger statues. Each statue was uniquely decorated by local artists, students and alumni. The goal of Tigers Around Town is not only to recognize the centennial, but to impressively illustrate the city’s rich history and relationship with the U of M. Tiger statues were sponsored by local fans, alumni and businesses and will be on display at selected locations

Spring Commencement May 5, 2012 – Although each commencement ceremony is special to those involved, the May 2012 spring commencement will be the most impressive held in University of Memphis history. During the ceremony, the Alumni Association is coordinating an effort to have a representative from each class walk and be recognized. Additionally, each past president of the Alumni Association

will be presented with a commemorative medallion specifically designed for the centennial celebration.

Distinguished Alumni Awards June 9, 2012 – While each Distinguished Alumni Awards is the premier black-tie affair of the year, the centennial gala will be unique in its design and program.

The 2012 DAA will not only celebrate the University’s best and brightest, it will also highlight the University’s accomplishments throughout its first 100 years. Former presidents of the Alumni Association will be recognized, special presentations will be made for service to the Association, and each college and school will be highlighted.

Homecoming Fall 2012 – The Alumni Association anticipates that events related to the centennial celebration will be added to traditional Homecoming activities. A date has not yet been set due to the unavailability of the football schedule.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Goals 1) Membership — Reach 12,000 Alumni Association members by Dec. 31, 2012.

A strong membership program is crucial to the long-term growth and success of the Alumni Association. The chief components of our program bring focus to alumni engagement, Association recognition and value in membership. A major emphasis and investment has been made to build membership at the University of Memphis through expanded alumni staff and an extensive restructure of the entire program that began in 2003.

2) Programming Efforts — Evaluate and revise each program, event and activity to visibly reflect the celebration of the University’s centennial. Programmatically and visually, it is important to represent the University and its celebration. The Alumni Association is in the process of redesigning marketing pieces, invitations, banners, programs and awards within each area to reflect the centennial celebration.

ALUMNI REVIEW

Air Force captain’s gift to U of M has special meaning On Sept. 11, 2001, Timothy Donahoo was a freshman sitting in his 8 a.m. English class when the first hijacked airliner struck the World Trade Tower. “It is a day I will never forget, and the University of Memphis is the canvas on which that tragic memory is painted,” says Donahoo.

His words were in a letter accompanying an extraordinary gift to the U of M. Donahoo, now an Air Force captain in Afghanistan with Operation Enduring Freedom, has presented the University with an American flag and a U of M flag that flew over Afghanistan on Sept. 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks. The flags also accompanied Donahoo on a combat mission in Afghanistan on Sept. 24.

Donahoo, (BPS ’05) who serves as a navigator with the 963rd Expeditionary Airborne Air Control Squadron, made the gift on behalf of the University’s centennial celebration.

The Memphis flag almost didn’t arrive in time to be flown on the 10th anniversary. The manufacturer wouldn’t mail the flag to

Capt. Timothy Donahoo and his wife, Amy, were on the cheerleading squad together at the U of M.

Donahoo’s APO address, so he had it shipped to his wife Amy, whom he met at the U of M. The flag then was routed incorrectly to her, but finally arrived in Afghanistan the evening of Sept. 10.

At the U of M, Donahoo was a member of the coed cheerleading squad and Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. He also was an orientation guide and a Frosh Camp counselor. Donahoo joined the Air Force ROTC and was commissioned as a second lieutenant the day after his graduation in December 2005.

“It has been my honor to serve my country for the past six years, and it was all made possible by the University of Memphis,” he wrote. “As a token of my appreciation for everything the University has done for me, I present these two flags.”

U of M President Shirley Raines read Donahoo’s letter at a recent event recognizing top University donors. During the campus Veterans Day ceremony, an AFROTC cadet presented the American flag and read an excerpt from the authenticity certificate confirming it was flown over Afghanistan in honor of the U of M. “Capt. Donahoo’s success as a U of M student and dedicated member of the U.S. Air Force is a wonderful example of how the Air Force ROTC program develops today’s students into tomorrow’s leaders in career fields using their college degree,” said Lt. Col. Jacqueline Randolph, commander of AFROTC Detachment 785.

“Each gift to the University of Memphis is a reflection of the donor’s values,” said Bobby Prince, U of M associate vice president for Development. “The flags donated by Donahoo, and the spirit in which they were given, are especially meaningful because they clearly demonstrate his strong affinity for the University and his love for our country. We are very touched that he is acknowledging the impact the University has had on his life through this extremely thoughtful gift.” — by Gabrielle Maxey

Fencing is safe when participants wear the required safety equipment (mask, padded jacket and gloves) and follow the rules, Knowles says. “Other sports can get dangerous very fast. Fencing is more dramatic simply because of the movies and the fact that people really did fight duels with swords.”

When he’s not teaching, Knowles may be one of fencing’s most vocal cheerleaders. He would like the U of M to field an intercollegiate fencing team to compete against such rivals as Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Knowles also wants to see more public and private high schools in the Mid-South embrace fencing, even drawing in homeschoolers. He is in the process of organizing a non-profit organization, the Youth Fencing Initiative, to raise funds to hire coaches and buy basic equipment.

“I especially want to see students who live in the inner city or rural areas have the chance to try out the sport,” he says. Part of his mission in opening the Cooper-Young location is to make the sport more accessible to kids who can’t get to Collierville to learn fencing.

Knowles also competes in fencing. This spring he took first place in men’s epee and men’s foil at the Tennessee Division of the United States Fencing Association, qualifying him for the National Fencing Championships in Reno, Nev. He and one of his top fencing students, Peter Wetzel (captain of the CBHS fencing team), went on to medal in several events. Knowles took fifth in the nation in the veteran’s 40-49 epee and eighth in the nation in an epee event with more than 125 combatants.

In addition to teaching, Knowles has coached actors on stage combat sequences.

He choreographed the pivotal swordfight scene in the U of M Opera production of Don Giovanni. Knowles is a practicing musician and has played piano, French horn, trumpet and guitar. He studied classical guitar with professors John Stover and Lily Afshar while at the U of M. Knowles also has worked as a recording engineer, a video editor and broadcast news editor.

Mostly Knowles sees himself not only as a teacher of sword fighting, but a catalyst for releasing an individual’s heroic potential. “I believe that within every person exists a hero,” he says. “The ‘Heroic Self’ is an iconic version of ourselves that manifests itself during moments of great pressure. It can act with a heightened awareness of right and wrong, choosing the proper action. The ‘Hero’ only uses force if necessary, and always the proper amount. Fencing offers us the opportunity to explore the hero within all of us.”
