"Bostonia, Boston University’s (BU) flagship alumni magazine, strives to foster and sustain an emotional connection between alumni and the university. It also demonstrates BU’s enduring value to alums by telling stories that reflect the intellectual life and vibrancy of the BU community.
We write about the groundbreaking impact of BU scholarship across all academic and professional disciplines, as well as feature our diverse and distinguished alumni. We also write about student life, the changing campus, and the many ways BU has become a global research powerhouse. Through intelligent, substantive, and expertly written and edited articles, vivid photography, and energetic design, we are committed to telling the endless stories of Boston University in ways that often are relevant to current social, political, and scientific trends. We aim to inspire, inform, entertain, and spark pride.
We post stories online from the print magazine, which is published three times a year (Winter-Spring, Summer, and Fall). The magazine publishes five or so main features per issue, and each one is designed from scratch for the web. We also have the flexibility to update the home page daily, with new alumni stories and new class notes (searchable by school/college and year of graduation), as well as shared content from the university’s daily news site (BU Today) and research site (The Brink)."
