Magazine Issues

Below, we have hyperlinked our semesterly magazines so you can access our older articles.

While we too enjoy the feeling of flipping through a glossy, print magazine, we chose to make our semesterly magazine online primarily to reduce our paper usage. In the process of creating these magazines, we optimized this online format to create a more interactive paper for you! 

Here are features to look out for and how to use them:

(1) Table of Contents: Have you ever flipped through pages of a magazine to find an interesting article from the Table of Contents only to realize you flipped twenty pages past it?  To avoid this issue, each article title on our table of contents is hyperlinked to its place in the magazine. So if you find an article you are interested in, click the title and you will be directed specifically to that piece.

(2) Choosing Articles: Do you pick which article to read by finding the most aesthetic layout? That might seem lost on an online platform, but it is still possible! On the toolbar at the bottom of the page, there is an icon labeled “47” called “Thumbnail View.” By clicking this button, you can see a small version of all the articles on the same screen.
