Memphis, Tennessee:

Memphis is at the center of America's heartland, a commercial and
transportation hub made famous by the Mississippi River, by railroads,
and by FedEx.  It is also a crossroads at the cusp of the Delta, a
mixture of urban and rural, black and white, country and soul, gospel
and secular.  Not surprising, it is the birthplace of rock n' roll and
the home of the Blues.  Memphis boasts a diverse population of nearly
700,000, in a metro area of over one million,  thriving arts and music
scenes, nationally recognized parks and libraries, and-oh,
yes-world-famous barbecue.

The University of Memphis is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer.
