  We are asking that all cohort participants be available promptly at 9:30 a.m. for our group picture.

Each graduate is welcome to invite one guest. Please RSVP below and provide the name of your guest by 5 pm on Wednesday, March 18th.  Please keep in mind that due to limited seating capacity, guests not on the RSVP list will regrettably not be granted entry. (Children under 12 are not permitted.)

For attire, we kindly request graduates to wear business attire, while business casual is suitable for guests. We will have professional photographers and videographers on site. Thank you for your attention to these details, and we look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with you.

”I believe the city should offer this program to all who want to participate additionally I believe that the program should be marketed to new Memphis citizens to help them learn about their new home and get them engaged in the city. “

Karla Y. Sutton-McKinney

“Civic engagement is how citizens make a difference in the daily life of their community and its members. We advance growth and prosperity, for all, by lending our knowledge, skills, values and passion to make a difference in the places we live and play. The best way to accomplish this task comes by being informed about who operates the city, how the operation happens, and the whys of, then, now, and tomorrow. The Memphis Academy for Civic Engagement covers all aspects of what you need to know and how to get it done.“

Malcolm Robinson

“I would encourage citizens to be well informed about the status of your city and what you can do to make change. Do not stand idle as your city yearns for your participation and attention. "Be the change you wish to see."

Daisy Atkins

“I believe "knowledge is power." The more you know about a subject, the better choices can be made. When we know we are a part of the solutions, then we can better understand the problems. “
