1 | UNIVERSITY CENTER The University Center is the hub of campus life. On the first floor, you'll find tons of places to eat whether you want a cup of coffee, a sit-down meal or a quick bite on the go. Stop by the exhibit tables to learn about student organizations or campus initiatives. The second floor features the Involvement Zone, where student organization offices, and the Technology Hub, with a 24 hour computer lab, are located. There are plenty of spaces for you to relax between classes. The third floor is comprised of conference and event spaces. The UofM has more than 250 student organizations ranging from academic, Greek, political, religious and everything in between. If you have an idea for a new organization, you can start your own! The national organization Up `Til Dawn, which raises money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, was founded on our campus.

2 | BOOKSTORE UofM students wear Tiger Blue every Friday, game day and most days in between. Stop by the University Bookstore to grab some Tiger gear, order your books for the semester or pick up a cup of coffee before class at Starbucks. You'll also find Tiger Banking and University Eye Care in this building. The student plaza is a great place to relax and check out the different info fairs and events, and you can't miss the Homecoming Kick-Off Event where the Alumni Association turns the fountain blue.

3 | BALL HALL/CAMPUS SCHOOL The College of Education, located in Ball Hall, is where it all began. Originally founded as West Tennessee State Normal School in 1912, the UofM was a school for training teachers. Now, with over 50 degree programs, more than a dozen research centers and institutes and numerous partnerships throughout the Mid-South, the College of Education continues to produce top educators. With two laboratory schools housed on our campus, Barbara K. Lipman Early Learning and Research Center for children aged 2 to kindergarten and the UofM Campus School for first through fifth graders, our students are able to research, teach and observe without leaving campus.

On any given day, you'll hear the tunes of the Mighty Sound of the South, our University marching band, practicing, or one of the four ROTC branches -- Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy -- running drills. In addition, the spring and Homecoming concerts hosted by the Student Activities Council take place on the field. Looking around you'll see Scates Hall, home to College of Arts and Sciences, the ROTC offices and Robison Hall that houses the School of Public Health.

6 | MCWHERTER LIBRARY The Ned R. McWherter Library is the main library on campus. The floor plan is the length and width of a football field, so it's the size of four football fields stacked on top of each other. Librarians are available most hours of the day to assist with research or finding resources. The University is a member of the interlibrary loan system, so on the off chance you can't find the book you're looking for, we can get it for you! Utilize the Technology Sandbox to explore new technologies such as 3D computer-aided design, gaming systems, cameras and 3D printers. The Sandbox continues to expand and will include tools for traditional crafting and more.

7 7 | HERFF COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING The Herff College of Engineering offers six different majors: Biomedical, Civil, Computer, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Technology. As a University driven by doing, students research and create alongside professional engineers and mentors, which is why you'll find a research lab around just about every corner. Relax in the student lounge or collaborate with classmates in the work room that has the tools you need. You won't spend all your time on campus thanks to our renowned cooperative education program that provides paid experience with our industrial partners. Memphis is built on innovation. In fact, some of the world's biggest biomedical and logistics companies are headquartered here, providing unprecedented opportunities for our students.
