The University of Memphis’ office of Multicultur-
al Affairs will inspire the community to observe
the history and culture of African American wom-
en during Black History Month.
2012 marks the centennial year of the university
and the 21st year the campus has held social and
educational activities in February to commemo-
rate African American history.
Linda Hall, a coordinator in Multicultural Af-
fairs, is excited about the theme and being able to
share the history of African American women
with the university.
“The national theme is “Black Women in Ameri-
can History and Culture,” Hall said. “We added
“Passionate, Powerful, and Proud” as a sub-theme
for the university. The university has a long lega-
cy of significant African American women and we
really wanted to showcase this.”
The Black History Month festivities will kick
off with an opening ceremony honoring the Life-
time Achievement Award recipient. This year’s
recipient is Dr. Rosie Phillips Bingham, vice pres-
ident of Student Affairs, a choice that was greatly
supported by the university’s student body.
“We thought it would be great to honor an Afri-
can American female from the ranks of the uni-
versity in our centennial year, “ Hall said.
“Students overwhelmingly voted for Dr. Bing-
ham. She is the first female African American
vice president in student affairs the university has
had in a 100 years. That is a milestone.”
As soon as the opening ceremony ends, one
Black History Month event rolls into another one
up until February 29.
Some event highlights include a student led
prayer breakfast, an “Evening with Debbie Allen”,
a three-part series on the controversial book and
movie “The Help”, several black Greek-letter or-
ganization led programs, and the “Freedom Ball”
hosted by the local chapter of the NAACP.
Each event will have a special emphasis on Afri-
can American women that represent the national
theme. Hall believes “An Evening with Debbie
Allen” is very reflective of this.
“If people were to describe [Debbie Allen], I
think they would describe her as passionate, pow-
erful, and proud, like our theme” Hall said. “Her
historic prominence on Broadway and her life
speaks to what culture is.”
Hall also believes each event will enrich indi-
viduals lives through learning. “I hope these
events are a teaching opportunity,” Hall said. “The
events are not just about entertaining, but educat-

Having a great time on Valentine’s Day, doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. Whether you
are single or coupled up, here a few tips on how to enjoy the holiday without going broke.
<< Books or Magazines: Giving some-
one a book or magazines says you
appreciate their interests .
<< Movies: Give the gift of the movies
and make it a romantic movie night.
<< A Romantic Mixed CD: Remember the
time you had your first date and your favorite
song played on the radio. Well add it to a cd
along with other songs that remind you of
your loved one.
<< Games: Game Night is always fun so
why not buy that special someone their fa-
vorite game and then spend a little time
playing together.
<< Baked Goods: Be sweet and give some-
one a sugary treat. Baking is also a fun
activity to do with friends.
<< Paint a Picture: A simple arts and
crafts project from the heart can mean
a lot and let someone know you took
time to create something for them.
Happy Birthday University of Memphis! On January 18, proud University of Memphis students gathered in the
atrium of the university center to celebrate the school’s centennial year.
Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Rosie Phillips Bingham, Univer-
sity President Dr. Shirley Raines and SGA President Tyler DeWitt, were
all in attendance to celebrate the occasion. After a few brief speeches,
the party kicked off with the cutting of a large birthday cake that took
several hours to create.
To further celebrate the festivities students were encouraged to have
cake, visit the photo booth and dance. 2012 is definitely a great year to
be a University of Memphis Tiger!

We all say it. This year, I am going to stick to my diet and be a healthier me! Yet,
by February many of us have fallen off of the health kick wagon due to varied
reasons. This year challenge yourself to keep your health goals and follow these
quick tips for staying healthy while balancing a hectic college schedule.
Walk around campus. Walking to your
classes can burn several calories. Keep a pe-
dometer with you to keep count of how many
steps you’ve taken and calories you’ve
burned.
Find a workout buddy. Working out with
friends can make the dreaded workout a more
exciting experience. A workout buddy is also
great for motivating you to stay with your
workout routine.
Make better food choices. Taco Bell, Burg-
er King, and Dunkin Donuts are all places to
eat on campus that may seem unhealthy. How-
ever, they also offer a few healthy choices. So
before you order three nacho supremes, ask
for the restaurant’s nutrition facts.
Be creative with your workout. Some-
times there is just not enough time to hit the
gym, but this doesn’t mean your workout has
to suffer. Find exercises that use your own
body weight that can be done anywhere.
Jumping Jacks and crunches are a good start.
Plan Ahead. With a jammed packed school
schedule it’s easy to make an excuse not to go
to the gym. Make a schedule in advance and
avoid going home before you hit the gym so
you won’t be tempted to stay home and
hangout after a long day.
Get a Trainer. The U of M offers fit tests
and personal training sessions to students. For
a nominal fee, a trainer will give find a fitness
plan that works for you and give you essential
tips to reach your health goals.
Join a team. The U of M has several intra-
mural sports throughout the year students can
sign up for. Take advantage of the opportunity
to exercise and bond with other students. For
info go to http://www.memphis.edu/
intramural/
Take the Memphis Healthy U Pledge. Now that you have a few tips on how to stay
