These 39 students are the first to take this exciting new graduate program from a vision to reality—and we couldn’t be more proud to welcome them to the Tiger family.

Graduate School Dean Dr. Deborah Tollefsen was there to welcome and speak with the new DPT students as they began their journey on the Lambuth campus.

Launching a new graduate program is a big deal. It’s also a reflection of what’s happening across the University of Memphis: new opportunities, innovative programs and more ways for students to build their future at UofM.

There’s something special about watching new opportunities take shape right here at UofM—and even more exciting knowing this is just the beginning. 💙

Welcome to the DPT Class of 2029! We’re excited to see all that you accomplish. 💙🐯

Dive into Dr. Tollefsen's insightful article and discover how graduate school has two curricula.

One is obvious: coursework, research, exams, dissertations, and publications.

The other? No one hands you a syllabus for it.

It's called the 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺; the unwritten rules, expectations, and academic norms that can quietly shape a student's success.

💭 How often should you meet with your advisor?
💭 How do you build relationships with faculty?
💭 What actually happens at academic conferences?
💭 When should you advocate for yourself?
💭 What does "professionalism" in graduate school really mean?

In the featured article of this month's Graduate School blog, Dr. Deborah Tollefsen explores why making these hidden rules visible is essential to helping graduate students thrive.

One of the best parts of being a student at the University of Memphis? Real-world experience that makes an impact.

Dr. Boller’s marketing students recently developed and pitched a Graduate School brand story to our team, giving them the opportunity to work on a real client project, present their ideas professionally, and gain hands-on experience beyond the classroom.

Even better? Every student in the group is continuing their journey at UofM by enrolling in graduate school! We’re so proud of the creativity, professionalism, and thoughtful work they brought to the table. They did an awesome job, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next.

And shoutout to the iconic Dr. Boller for creating opportunities like this for students. Faculty members like him are what make the UofM experience so meaningful — connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences that prepare students for what’s next.
