“The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
successfully prepares the future<br />
teachers that will serve students<br />
in the <strong>Memphis</strong> metropolitan area.<br />
We contribute to the College <strong>of</strong><br />
Education at the U <strong>of</strong> M because<br />
it uses the money to the greatest<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> the students it is<br />
preparing to serve our community.<br />
The future <strong>of</strong> <strong>Memphis</strong> and the<br />
surrounding region depends upon<br />
the good work <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>.”<br />
