“We are excited to host Educator Appreciation Day at our home basketball finale as our way of giving thanks to the Memphis education community," says general manager Caleb Weith. "Memphis Tigers Athletics invites all local educators to celebrate the impact they have on the entire Memphis learning community. As a higher learning institution, it is even more important for us to build strong partnerships with local teachers, staff, and administration, many of whom are University of Memphis alumni”.
