academic center The University of Memphis’ Center for Athletic Academic Services (CAAS) is dedicated to the academic and personal development of all Tiger student-athletes. Its mission is to provide support services to ensure that U of M student-athletes succeed in the classroom and obtain undergraduate degrees. CAAS has a unique responsibility as an office as it provides academic services to all student-athletes and conducts all necessary paperwork for NCAA academic compliance/certification. The academic services include orientation programs, tutoring, mentoring, academic counseling, study hall and academic advising. The University of Memphis Athletic Department is committed to graduating student-athletes, which is especially true for student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility. This commitment is accomplished in two different ways. The first focuses on student-athletes who are continuing their enrollment immediately after completing their eligibility. CAAS continues to offer all services to these student-athletes as if they were competing. A testament to the work of the CAAS, 89 percent (549-616) of the seniors who exhausted their eligibility from the 1999-00 year through the 2008-09 year have graduated. The second focus is a joint effort amongst the M Club, CAAS, and campus advisors. This effort focuses on former student- athletes who initiate contact with the athletic department through the M Club to seek assistance in returning to school for graduation. CAAS and campus advisors provide the M Club and the student a detailed plan for graduation. Former athletes who have taken advantage of this program recently and have graduated include: Marcus Bell-FB, Mike McKenzie- FB, Keith Lee-MBB, Connie Hibbler-WBB, Phyllis Vaughn Williams-WBB, Cedric Henderson-MBB, Chris Garner-MBB, and Andre Turner-MBB.
