Established in fall 2001, Grand Valley Magazine is published quarterly. The general interest magazine is sent free of charge to the entire campus community: students and their parents, faculty and staff members, alumni, legislators, donors and other friends.
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 Institutional Marketing design the publication.
