Yale Alumni Magazine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yale Alumni Magazine is an alumni magazine about Yale University. It was founded in 1891. It is independent from the university governed by a corporation (Yale Alumni Publications, Inc.)

The Magazine's statement of Purpose Approved on June 16, 2003 says[1]:

“

The Yale Alumni Magazine is published by Yale Alumni Publications, Inc., an independent nonprofit corporation whose chartered purpose is "to arouse, foster, and maintain interest in and disseminate information regarding Yale University and regarding educational matters; and to promote generally the welfare and interests of the University." The corporation's board has adopted the following statement of purpose for the magazine:

The magazine shall be a principal means of communication among alumni, the Yale University community, and others interested in Yale. A defining characteristic of the magazine is its editorial independence.

The magazine should impartially explore the achievements, issues, and problems of the University -- of its administration, faculty, and student body -- in order to convey a complete, fair, and accurate understanding of Yale today. In addition, the magazine shall record news of the alumni, providing them with a continued sense of belonging to the University and with opportunities to communicate with each other. The magazine may also publish original writing by faculty, alumni, and other members of the University community on intellectual and educational topics of interest to the alumni.

In all that it does, the Yale Alumni Magazine should strive for high standards of excellence in editorial content and design and seek to advance the long-term best interests of the University and the alumni. It should inform and inspire its diverse and ever-evolving readership, moving its readers to remain intellectually engaged with the University. The magazine should evoke Yale as it was in the past, portray Yale in all its complexity today, and thoughtfully probe the opportunities and challenges confronting Yale in the future.
