Get to Know Memphis

Memphis and our connections to it are as much a part of the 星空无限传媒 education as any lab or lecture hall. Home to Fortune 500 companies such as FedEx, AutoZone, and International Paper, and a major hub for biomedical research, distribution, and industry, Memphis offers prestigious internships and research opportunities for students. The city's independent spirit makes it fertile ground for arts and culture, non-profits, community service, and do-it-yourself leaders of all kinds.

Life in Memphis

  • The Beale Street Historic District, the Cooper-Young Entertainment District, Orpheum Theatre, and the South Main Arts District are all just minutes from campus.
  • Hailed as the birthplace of both the blues and rock-and-roll, Memphis music is as diverse as our city. World-class entertainers play at clubs, concert venues, and the FedEx Forum year-round.
  • Our restaurants are almost as legendary as the Memphis music scene. Our students all have their favorites, for everything from downhome barbecue and burgers to fine dining and ethnic specialties.
  • The city also boasts one of the top urban park systems in the U.S., covering 7,000 acres, and one of them, Overton Park, is right next to our Midtown campus (as is the famous Memphis Zoo).
  • Meeman-Shelby Forest and Shelby Farms Park provide excellent outdoor fun.
  • Memphis hosts year-round sports action, with the Grizzlies (NBA), the Mississippi River Kings (ice hockey), the Memphis 901FC (professional soccer), and the Memphis Redbirds, the AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals.
