About Grand Valley Magazine

Established in fall 2001, Grand Valley Magazine is published triannually. The general interest magazine, in print form, is sent free of charge to members of the campus community. The digital magazine is sent to a wider audience of university constituents.

The stories that appear in Grand Valley Magazine serve as an informative and effective way to showcase the university's values through its successes. Through feature stories, campus news and engaging photographs, the magazine brings campus stories to life. Stories are written and photographs taken by staff members in the University Communications office. Staff members in University Marketing design the publication.
