David Rudd INTERIM VICE PRESIDENT OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS Tammy Hedges MISSION The University of Memphis is a learner-centered metropolitan research university providing high quality educational experiences while pursuing new knowledge through research, artistic expression, and interdisciplinary and engaged scholarship. The University of Memphis is one of 45 institutions in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, the sixth largest system of higher education in the nation. TBR is the governing board for this system, which comprises six universities, 13 two-year colleges and 27 Colleges of Applied Technology. The TBR system enrolls more than 80 percent of all Tennessee students attending public institutions of higher education.

PRESIDENT Dear alumni and friends of the University: From our founding in 1912, it was argued that “every great city deserves a great university,” establishing a relationship with the City of Memphis that has endured for more than 100 years. The University already engages in a broad range of important and impactful efforts with Memphis and the surrounding communities. This coming year we will expand our focus on our relationship with the community and will engage in a year of service. Recognition of the hard work of our faculty, students, staff and alumni will occur throughout the fall of 2015. This issue of the magazine celebrates the University of Memphis’ relationship to the community through our research. U of M scientists work to solve many of the major global challenges faced by our society. These pages tell you about Dr. Santosh Kumar and the new Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-To-Knowledge (MD2K) sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Kumar works to harvest “big data” through the use of mobile devices that monitor an individual’s health, particularly conditions like congestive heart failure. We also present the profiles of three other premier faculty researchers. The expertise of computer science professor Dr. Dipankar Dasgupta has recently been sought by the federal government to help develop a more robust cyber defense system — and thus a more secure Internet experience for all users. Political science instructor Leah Windsor studies political speeches, slogans and texts to determine how linguistics in these messages may be a predictor of national and international security threats. And, as part of a $235,000 earthquake vulnerability project, civil engineering professor Dr. Mihalis Golias simulates the vulnerability of the transportation infrastructure, should it be hit by a highmagnitude earthquake – something that could be critical to Memphis with its proximity to the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Also important to the University’s research efforts are our students, several of whom are highlighted in this issue. Biomedical engineering students are researching ways to lower the extremely high mortality rate of septic shock, and determining how tissue engineering can help regenerate bone or cartilage injuries that result on the battlefield. One senior psychology student is conducting in-depth research to find treatments, and possibly a cure, for autism; and another is working at the U of M’s Health, Addiction and Behavioral Intervention Team to find ways to combat addictive behaviors, such as drug abuse and excessive alcohol use. These are just a few of the exciting stories on our campus. Our research makes a difference in the lives of our citizens both locally and nationally. I invite you to learn more about our great University through our website, www.memphis.edu. Go Tigers! Sincerely,

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS
UNIVERSITY NEWS Dear Alumni and Friends: Welcome to The University of Memphis Magazine’s research issue. We are thrilled to share with you just a few of the many significant achievements of our faculty and research staff. With Dr. M. David Rudd assuming the presidency of the University, we have recently revised our research mission statement to reflect his strategic direction. The Office for the Vice President for Research supports U of M faculty’s scholarship of discovery and innovation across our campuses. We work to promote research and creative activities by focusing on interdisciplinary scholarship, facilitating partnerships from local to international, and enabling our faculty to move the products of their work from the laboratory, classroom, field and studio to the community. The U of M is a Carnegie Foundation research university/high activity. That designation places us among the top 5 percent of American research universities. It is our goal, however, to do more and my office, along with President Rudd and Provost Karen Weddle-West, are committed to this task. We intend to promote basic and applied research and creative activity, but we understand that our work has the potential to have significant impact on our communities, our governmental and corporate partners and the broader society. One shining example of our research success is the recent announcement that the University has been selected to lead a National Institutes of Health Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data-to-Knowledge (MD2K). This four-year, $10.8 million program supports advances in research, policy and training that are needed for the effective use of Big Data in biomedical research. Read more on page 5. If you have any questions or wish to support our research, please contact me at ameyers@memphis.edu.

NIH Center of Excellence solidifies U of M’s research capacity Five years ago, University of Memphis computer science professor Santosh Kumar was named to Popular Science magazine’s annual “Brilliant 10 Young Scientists” list, using the word “genius” to describe the talented computer scientist. So it should come as no surprise that Dr. Kumar is widely credited as helping the U of M land one of its most important research accomplishments in the University’s 102-year history. The National Institutes of Health has awarded the University a prestigious $10.8 million Center of Excellence grant that will focus on the exploding mobile health (mHealth) field. The grant is part of a $32 million NIH investment that establishes 12 Centers of Excellence across the country that each will tackle specific data science challenges. The centers will develop new strategies to analyze and leverage the explosion of increasingly complex biomedical data sets, often referred to as Big Data. NIH is expected to have a total investment of $656 million in Big Data research by 2020. “The future of biomedical research is about assimilating data across biological scales from molecules to populations,” says Dr. Philip E. Bourne, NIH associate director for data science. “As such, the health of each one of us is a big data problem. Ensuring that we are getting the most out of the research data that we fund is a high priority for NIH.” Kumar is the lead scientist for the Mobile Sensor Data-To-Knowledge Center (MD2K). The U of M’s work will entail collaboration among 22 investigators from 11 universities: Cornell, Georgia Tech, University of Michigan, Rice, Northwestern, Ohio State, UCLA, UC-San Diego, UC-San Francisco, University of Massachusetts and the U of M. The U of M Center will spend the next four years developing innovative tools to make it easier to gather, analyze and interpret health data generated by mobile and wearable sensors. The scientists are looking, for example, to transform a person’s smartphone into a data-gathering device that sheds light on behaviors and environments to improve health

We spent a lot of time with a large group of campus friends, talking about anthropology, sharing articles we’d read, new ideas. Did you come to the U of M together? RF: No. I was offered a tenure-track job at the University of Memphis just as I was completing my doctorate, but Ross was still writing his dissertation.

Early in my training I did archeology in France and California, but most of my investigations examine work, energy expenditure, time allocation and nutritional status among lowland horticultural farmers in the forests of Venezuela.

Paying
Their Way by Eric Butterman
THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS
Life’s a festival. At least it might be for U of M student Sankaet Pathak and friend Bryan Keltner; that’s where they came up with an innovative business idea, which may change the way countless consumers shop. “When we went to the Memphis Italian Festival, we had to go outside of it, swipe a card, buy some tickets and come back in to get food and other things,” Pathak recalls. “We had to do it a bunch of times, and we started wondering why.” Services, such as PayPal, can mitigate this type of inconvenience; however, festival organizers didn’t want to pay the associated fees. “We knew there had to be a better method,” Pathak says. “You have to realize that many payment systems, in some ways, basically started around 50 years ago.” They soon created Synapse Payments, which is a payment gateway utilizing ACH for payments processing. To make a purchase within a store, consumers start up the Synapse app, pick a store, “check in” on the app, shop and
You Never Know Who You’ll Meet at Target Of course, it’s hard to launch without being staked. And, for that, sometimes it’s whom you know — and how you meet them. When Keltner, a former U of M student, was working at Target, he shot the breeze with a customer; Synapse Payments came up. The customer suggested that he meet with her husband, Jeff Webb, founder of Varsity Brands (one of the most successful companies in the world of cheerleading). After hearing their concept, Webb thought someone else might be interested: Doug Marchant, an original founder of Concord EFS (which was later sold to First Data Corp. for billions). Now both are backers. The goal is to spend the next six months targeting the local community. “Eventually, we’ll be thinking of getting into different cities,” Pathak says. “We want to make sure we take the time to do it right.”
Resource-wise, Synapse is also rapidly growing. Besides business administrator Jereme Cavallo, the company recently added U of M computer science major Thomas Hipps to help “build crucial modules” and Stephen Black (BFA ’13), a graphic designer. Pathak says he has the U of M’s Crews Center for Entrepreneurship to thank. The Center encourages students to explore innovation, entrepreneurial ideas and provides a wealth of support services to help them launch their start-ups. He also credits lessons he learned at the U of M. “I have been doing research at the school in physics for a long time and you are encouraged to keep starting from scratch if you end up having the wrong approach, to get used to doing it,” Pathak says. “Also, Professor Joan Schmelz encourages the importance of independent learning. You realize that learning is essentially a skill in itself.” Opposite: Synapse business partners (from left) Jereme Cavallo, Sankaet Pathak and Bryan Keltner.
get a notification when the seller charges them for what they bought. Maybe the best part is the merchant doesn’t get any other information — just the shopper’s name and face. In a time of fear of losing private information, Synapse Payments can be like a trusted friend (the one who won’t blab about personal details to anyone). So how do consumers get their money into the Synapse Payments system? “An account is created, and they enter their bank account number,” says Pathak, who received his bachelor’s in computer engineering and mathematics from the U of M and is currently seeking a master’s in the former. “It gets saved to the cloud. Enter it once, and it’s sent to a vault-like encrypted merchant server.” For the seller, it’s only 25 cents for each transaction (and only 10 cents for a transaction under $10). In many cases, this is a major
Crews Center for Entrepreneurship thrives in nation’s “hotspot” Insiders have long known that Memphis is one of the U.S. hotspots for business startups — look no further than FedEx, AutoZone and Holiday Inn. Just this year, CNN Money placed the city as one of the top 10 in the country for startups, with other publications placing it as high as No. 4. So it should come as no surprise that the U of M’s Crews Center for Entrepreneurship — open for less than a year — is already finding success, such as with Synapse Payments, which Crews director Mike Hoffmeyer calls the Center’s “poster child.” “They have a live product and have secured local investment to fund their company,” Hoffmeyer says. “As more students find out about our services, we anticipate many more success stories.” Hoffmeyer says the Center “supports a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship” within the U of M that helps faculty and student entrepreneurs as they seek to commercialize their research, ideas and inventions into successful start-ups. “Great ideas and innovation are taken to a whole new level by joining together the top stu-

Cyber security breaches seem to be more the norm recently with personal information regularly being mined and distributed by computer hackers. U of M computer science professor Dipankar Dasgupta, founder of the Center for Information Assurance, says it is important to stay “one step ahead of the bad guys” as he looks for ways to ensure a safer Internet experience.
computational system. We want to learn how to build a computational system that is self-monitored and self-healing – like the human body can be.” Work in this emerging field has landed Dasgupta the chair of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society’s task force on bio-inspired approaches to cyber defense. He recently developed an in-depth Negative Authentication process to filter out illegal access attempts against computer network accounts. He has organized countless local and national cyber security summits (including one at the request of the White House) and prepared reports that have generated a new research program within the Department of Homeland Security. At interview time, he’s just back from a week in Finland, where he helped to confer a doctorate and gave three keynote addresses concerning Cloud security. “Who has access to all that info stored up there?” someone asks. “We don’t know,” he admits. “That’s the problem and why we propose an insurance model. The customer would pay a premium and be covered in case of a data breach.” But commercialism is not his business. After showing his visitor to a chair in his office, Dasgupta chats casually, then seats himself behind his desk and virtually disappears. He is barely visible behind a cliff of papers, journals, references and reminders. In one hand is his smartphone (which one knows only by its ping, as it can’t be seen). When teased, the professor only half-jokes: “Yes, these are my piles! And I know exactly where things are. Every semester ends, and I think, ‘I will clean a bit.’ But it never happens. And if someone touches these piles, I get mad!” At the U of M, Dasgupta is founding director of the Center for Information Assurance, which is a National Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and in Research, and he is director of the Intelligent Security Systems Research Laboratory. His work has received government research support of more than $10.5 million. Grantors include the National Science Foundation, Office of W W W. M E M P H I S . E D U
Naval Research, Department of Defense and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. One new effort — “Puzzle-based Cybersecurity” — is a collaborative effort with Jackson State Community College and involves utilizing specialized software to help community college teachers and students learn the concepts and approaches of cyber security ($364,864; NSF). “Puzzles stimulate and give new insight into out-of-the-box thinking,” says Dasgupta. The project taps into the game theory approach, which is finding support in academia. Where does family fit into his academic endeavors? “My wife,” he boasts, “is the biggest supporter of my activities.” His wife, Geeta, has two master’s degrees, and the couple is originally from the eastern part of India. “I was a lecturer at one university and she at another. Her brother was my colleague.” An overture was made, families were introduced and they met. The couple has two daughters, Sonali and Sukanya, who are pursuing higher education. Dasgupta has set the bar high. At the U of M, he has been named the Dr. Pat E. Burlison Professor; received the Willard R. Sparks Eminent Faculty Award (2012), Dunavant Professorship (2007) and Distinguished Research Award (2002, 2006); and he recently won the August 2014 Eye of the Tiger Award from the U of M Alumni Association.

He homes in on facility operations, network design and traffic planning, focusing on public-private stakeholders and the areas of productivity, reliability, resilience and safety. His core research and teaching expertise are in intermodal freight transportation. Novel mathematical models that “capture real-world environments and provide robust solutions against the uncertainty that everyday operations entail” are his forte. And Memphis, he says, is a terrific fit, being a busy, commercial port on the Mississippi, one of the world’s major river systems, as well as an important rail and roadway hub.

The entire earthquake vulnerability project ($235,000; 2014-2016) is designed to examine resilience after a disaster and to develop decision support tools for emergency management. Infrastructure maintenance is in terrible shape, Golias laments, pointing to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ grade (D+) for U.S. transportation infrastructure and its estimate of investment needed by 2020 ($3.6 trillion). “To continue to be the strongest economy, you need to invest in transportation, including the people, the undergraduates, to develop the workforce,” he emphasizes. At the U of M, Golias has developed 10 courses on transportation engineering and planning, freight transportation and logistics. Recent grants ($850,000+ total) he has received from the Tennessee Department of Transportation entail developing data, models and evaluations for rail crossings, crash prediction, truck trips and emissions.

HELP IS HERE Many people who choose to gamble — whether it’s a poker game or Powerball, a sporting event or a street corner dice game — are able to spend some of their discretionary income and know when to walk away. Some people simply pursue gambling as a hobby the way others might spend time and money on building model train sets, joining an exercise facility or home-brewing beer. “Most adults who choose to gamble do so responsibly,” according to The Gambling Clinic’s website. “But 2 million (1 percent) of U.S. adults are estimated to meet criteria for pathological gambling in a given year. Another 4 to 8 million (2 to 3 percent) would be considered problem gamblers.” The Clinic’s directors believe those percentages hold true in Memphis, whose proximity to Tunica – the 10th largest casino market in the United States, according to the American Gaming Association – and even Southland Park in West Memphis provides residents plenty of Professors James Whelan (above) and Andy Meyers created The Institute for Gambling Education and Research where individuals with gambling disorders can be counseled.

The man’s condition struck a chord with Whelan and Meyers, who, like many psychology peers, hadn’t given gambling and its sordid afflictions much consideration before. “There probably were people with gambling problems; we just never thought about it,” Whelan says. Whelan, Meyers and two graduate students dove into research on gambling, quickly discovering that whatever literature existed at the time was obsolete. Whelan compared the gambling literature in the 1990s to alcohol literature of the 1960s: sorely outdated and in need of an extreme makeover. “It was not addressing contemporary issues about what a gambling problem was. How do you assess it? How do you treat it? How do we better understand its ideology?” Whelan says. However, the professors and students began seeing a common thread among gamblers that distinguished them from alcoholics, helping the psychologists better understand the disorder. “You can walk into any group of people, no matter how much they gamble or don’t gamble, and
access to a wide range of gambling options. But the city’s poverty levels can exacerbate the problem here. “We know that convenient access to gambling venues increases the chances of an individual experiencing problem gambling,” says Meyers, interim U of M vice president for Research. “It is also true that low- to middleincome gamblers and their families are more vulnerable to the financial damage that often occurs due to problem gambling.” But while low- and middle-income gamblers have a slimmer margin for error when it comes to their gambling losses, income is not a predictor of a disorder. And anyone who gets themselves in a jam could use the Clinic,

U of M biomedical engineering major Hunter King sounds every bit the young scientist when asked to describe his research in sepsis and septic shock. “I can give you the short version, the medium version or the in-depth version,” says King, matter-of-factly. He proceeds to paint a perfect picture of how he and Herff College biomedical engineers Erno Lindner, Bradford Pendley and James Atherton are working to lower the mortality rate of those experiencing septic shock. The only thing missing from King’s presentation is a white lab coat. “People with severe septic shock in the hospital, their mortality rate is too unacceptably high,” says the Chattanooga, Tenn., native. “Methodist Hospital, for example, could have 30 people in septic shock at the same time in their ICU. “We are looking at ways to risk-stratify those patients in a manner that doctors can have specific information on them and then be able to give them an individualized quality of care. They should be able to say, ‘This patient is trending worse; this one, better; this one is critical.’” Septic shock is caused by a bacterial infection, which prompts widespread inflammation throughout the body, a dramatic drop in blood pressure and the failure of vital organs; it often develops in ICUs after surgery. It can be life threatening if undetected and untreated; Mayo Clinic scientists estimate the mortality rate is about 50 percent. The way to lower that high rate, King says, is to develop a more efficient device, which can measure a patient’s carbon dioxide level, determine whether sepsis is present — and, if so, how severe. “There are currently other technologies to measure this, but the
measurements from urine samples, thus giving doctors real-time information on patients with sepsis. King is confident the end result will mean lower mortality rates.

He says that many college students won’t drink if they are presented with other recreational opportunities. “The idea is if you present college kids with social options like sports or clubs like ultimate Frisbee or chess, which don’t involve alcohol or drug use, they will take them. In college, drinking or smoking marijuana is a social phenomenon to make friends, to feel more comfortable at a party.” Joyner says research shows that college students drink for a variety of reasons. “A lot drink to cope with school, family or relationship problems,”

Everything — including the eye black under offensive lineman Michael Stannard’s eyes — was a work of art during the University of Memphis’ 36-17 dismantling of Middle Tennessee State Sept. 20 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. “At that moment, I was focusing on the game and thinking about what the defensive players did the last series that I could take advantage of on the next series,” says the reflective redshirt sophomore from Columbia, Mo. The 46,378 in attendance was the largest crowd in a decade as Memphis’ rebuilding project under Coach Justin Fuente is right on track. As for the seemingly perfectly placed eye black: a seasoned make-up artist, teammate or trainer? “Nah, I put it on myself,” deadpans Stannard. (Photo by Rhonda Cosentino) 24

Why did you choose to serve in the military? The idea of joining the service was always appealing to me, but I ultimately made the decision to join because I really wanted to get out and experience the world. After I got in, I quickly found out that I had made the decision to serve something greater than myself, and I have never felt so honored in my life. Did you serve overseas? I served in one combat deployment overseas in 2011. I am a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation New Dawn (Iraq) and Operation Tomodachi (Japan). As a veteran, do you see college differently than non-military students? Do you bring unique experiences to being a student? Absolutely. As a student and a veteran, returning to school after serving in the military is just as much of a culture shock as joining the service for the first time. Veterans go through so much between training 24/7 and deployments that school kind of gets put on the back burner, so making that transition back is huge for us. We had to work a little bit harder for our education so it makes us value it a lot more, and that is what keeps us in school. Any student-veteran brings an enormous amount of experience. As a sailor, soldier, airman or Marine, you are constantly training and gaining new experiences, so any university would benefit from having a strong veteran presence.

Do you feel the U of M is welcoming toward veterans? The University of Memphis has come a long way toward becoming a “veteran friendly” campus, and it is extremely vital that they keep pushing to better enhance the experience of student-veterans. How has the Veterans Resource Center been helpful to you? The Veterans Resource Center has been an absolute lifesaver, or should I say “career saver.” On any given day, you will be able to see the very same camaraderie that each one of us valued so much while we were in service. The VRC is the primary place on campus where a student veteran can truly find another person who has experienced some of the same things they have. It is a great place for vets to get their minds off of the demanding curriculum of college and get lost in tons of “old war stories.” What would you like to do after graduating? After college I intend to move to the Sarasota/ Bradenton area of Florida and I hope to work for a good employer as a manufacturing engineer.

How to argue with a referee Josh Pastner, head coach, Memphis men’s basketball Some coaches throw chairs; others embark on profanity-laced tirades that would make even a sailor blush — is there really an art to arguing with a referee? Who better to ask than Memphis’ own Josh Pastner who has never been tossed from a game and who only has three technical fouls in five seasons as men’s head basketball coach. “The officials are doing the best job they can,” says Pastner. “It is important to treat them with respect. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do things to get your point across.” Pastner’s class act certainly must work: he is the seventh-winningest head coach for the first five seasons in NCAA Div. I history. R - E - S - P - E - C -T So what is Pastner’s approach? “You have to remember that referees are human beings,” he says. “I treat all human beings with respect. Treating them with disrespect or trying to show them up can be counterproductive. It doesn’t mean I can’t tell them I disagree or I see it a different way, but you can do that in a respectful way. I try not to show them up. I don’t use any vulgar language. I understand if it is a male official, it could be somebody’s father, husband, brother or son. If it is a female official, it could be somebody’s mother, sister or daughter. You want to treat all people with respect. That is the best way to do it.”

GAM E CHANGER? Some coaches may try to get a “t” to fire his or her team up. Pastner? “Trying to get a technical can be counterproductive,” he says. “That is like doing something for revenge. The effect can last for a few minutes, but I don’t think it can ultimately change a game. That doesn’t mean that the momentum of a game can’t be changed at times. Strategically you can do certain things — the best way to change the momentum is by making shots. Besides, I am not good enough of a coach to be constantly arguing or trying to get a technical — I need to be concentrating on the coaching part.”
The number of years Stan Bronson Jr. has served as batboy for the University of Memphis baseball team (a Guinness World Record).
RARE AI R Through 174 games, Pastner has averaged less than a technical foul a season. “When I argue, I may be trying to protect the players or maybe get my point across — probably a little of both — but you can do it respectfully.” On those rare occasions: “All three have been outside the coaching box,” he says. “Two of them, I was arguing calls outside the coaching box; one of them was because I was warned multiple times about being outside the coaching box. I got one against Southern Miss for arguing a call outside of the coaching box. I would have been sick to my stomach if we lost that game by one or two points due to my technical foul.”
G A M E S U M M A RY “There is a balance when you argue a call,” Pastner points out. “You want to get your point across, but again, you are dealing with human beings. Officials are not going to be perfect. They are going to miss calls. For the majority of it, they are going to get calls right and call the game the right way. But when you do approach them to argue a call, it is all about respect.”

He picked up his first win two games into the season, edging SIU-Edwardsville 2-1, and three days later scoring his first victory over a ranked team, shutting out No. 15 Saint Louis 4-0. “I really didn’t think about it until we actually won — it is something I will always remember, but more importantly, it is the first win of the season and I hope it is one of many more to come for this season and for years to come.”

Receiving a donor-funded scholarship means that someone else’s experience at the U of M has been so impactful that they want me to have that same experience. I am so thankful that someone cares enough about this University and the students that they want to give back. You have given me an opportunity to receive a once-ina-lifetime education that many around the world would love to have. Thank you! Ashley Neal, Psychology P R ESI DENT’S R EPORT 2014

The real prize is to know that someone else feels that my future is something worth investing in and it is a feeling that I find difficult to put into words. I am so honored, so thankful, so truly touched to have stood out to someone as a venture worth funding. I look forward to continuing to excel and proving that it was a decision well worth making. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mary Carnes, History 48

Receiving a donor-funded scholarship means that I can fulfill my dream of being an attorney without taking on massive amounts of debt. More importantly, it means that someone believed in me, trusted me and made an investment in my future, and for that I will be forever thankful. Kimbra Ratliff, Law P R ESI DENT’S R EPORT 2014

Words cannot express the relief I felt when I discovered that someone is helping me to achieve my goals. I can focus a little harder on my work instead of outside jobs, and I can take heart that my community cares about education, art and the future. Laura Lawson, Art

Donor-funded scholarships are so much more than a monetary help, they are the knowledge that someone believes in me and my abilities. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and I promise to both not let it go to waste and to pass it on in the future. Stephen Tankersley, Mechanical Engineering P R ESI DENT’S R EPORT 2014

A donor-funded scholarship is more than just its monetary worth, it is an utmost honor. It is a clear sign that someone has so much faith in one’s capabilities that he or she is willing to contribute actual money in order to support that student’s aspirations. Lance Yu, Biomedical Engineering 60

It is truly a blessing for someone I have never met—and may never meet—to invest in my future in this fashion. I believe that the only way for me as a student to repay the donor for their generosity is to excel in my area of study and never give up on my academic and career goals.

Hard work really pays off. This scholarship will allow me to focus on pursuing my education. As an adult student, and a mother of three small children, going back to school full time is a decision that is impacting my personal life, and financial help is much appreciated. An opportunity like this helps me make my dream to become a licensed architect come true. I sincerely appreciate this opportunity. Roselma Pereira, Architecture P R ESI DENT’S R EPORT 2014

TIGER SCHOLARSHIP FUND Donors to the Tiger Scholarship Fund contributed $6 million in 2013-2014 toward studentathlete scholarships. As the primary fundraising arm for University of Memphis Athletics, Tiger Scholarship Fund finances the cost of athletic scholarships for more than 350 studentathletes every semester. This is achieved through the generous contributions and stewardship of fans, friends, family and alumni. These resources allow our student-athletes to meet the immediate challenges of competition and the classroom. Lifetime dividends are paid in terms of leadership and loyalty in our community.
