Auburn Magazine


Auburn Magazine

 

 

With every issue, Auburn Magazine strives to enlighten, fascinate, inspire, challenge, indulge, delight, absorb, entertain, inform, advise, educate, illuminate, surprise, galvanize and, occasionally, ruffle the feathers of its 46,000 readers. By doing these things, the magazine quietly and persistently cements the bond between the university and its alumni.

 

We believe that an alumni magazine should be a tactile symbol of all those things that make a university fun and great and lively and challenging—and, according to our readers, it shows: Three out of four readers either save the issue, display it in their homes or share it with family or friends. Auburn's flagship alumni periodical has won nearly two dozen regional and national awards for writing and design since its debut in 1994.
