REGISTER FOR THE BLUFF CITY MERIT BADGE COLLEGE Ⓜ️
The University of Tennessee Health Sciences and the University of Memphis (UofM) Herff College of Engineering are establishing a premier academic partnership to launch the Bluff City Merit Badge College on Aug 29th 2026.
This single-day event will bring 400–600 high-caliber youth onto both campuses. By offering specialized instruction in healthcare, STEM, and advanced leadership, this initiative serves as a regional recruitment engine and a milestone in institutional community engagement.
The Bluff City Merit Badge College scales the concept of urban Scouting into a large, dual-campus university event.
The defining characteristic of this partnership is its physical and intellectual integration across two distinct campuses, providing youth with a cohesive look at the professional pipelines available within their home region. Hosted primarily on the UT Health Sciences campus, the UofM Herff College of Engineering will also host engineering-specific programming, such as robotics, on-site in their robotics lab.
