About Us

Iowa Alumni Magazine is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December by the University of Iowa Alumni Association for its members. An online version that includes additional multimedia material is also available to UIAA members at www.iowalum.com/magazine.

Mission statement:
Iowa Alumni Magazine aims to add value and interest to its readers' lives, to make them proud to be associated with the University of Iowa, and to connect them to each other.

Guiding philosophy:
Iowa Alumni Magazine staff strive to continue the tradition of critical thinking that our readers -- a diverse group of alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends with a myriad of interests and beliefs -- embraced during their years at the University of Iowa. Through thoughtfully selected words and images, we seek to advance our university's future and goals by engaging our readers' intellect and emotions.

By adhering to the highest standards of compelling writing and design, accuracy, balanced coverage, and ethical behavior, Iowa Alumni Magazine staff aim to foster in readers feelings of pride and connection. Our goal is to add value and interest to readers' lives through articles that reflect not only the intellectual, cultural, and social life of the university but also relevant national or global issues.

We hope that readers will view Iowa Alumni Magazine as a trusted friend -- warm, inviting, credible, vibrant, honest, intelligent, accessible, tasteful, funny, and sometimes outspoken. Iowa Alumni Magazine is not afraid to tackle controversial issues -- nor to have fun. Like any magazine of substance, our publication will present inspired content that challenges, uplifts, and entertains. While that content will not appeal to or resonate with all people at all times, our stories will ensure that readers look forward to the magazine's arrival and remember it long afterwards.

Membership in the UIAA offers many advantages besides subscription to the magazine, such as valuable discounts and invitations to exclusive events.

Access the online magazine
The online magazine is restricted to members of the UI Alumni Association. To access the current online magazine and the extensive archives, use the password printed on the contents page of the most recent issue of the printed magazine. If you need a reminder of the current password, e-mail alumni-mag@uiowa.edu.

Write for the magazine
Iowa Alumni Magazine editors occasionally assign articles to freelance writers with extensive experience and skills. All articles are subject to rigorous editing. As a publication produced by a nonprofit organization, Iowa Alumni Magazine has a limited budget and is unable to match freelancer fees paid by commercial publications. To be added to our freelancers resources list, send your resume and writing samples to tina-owen@uiowa.edu.

Submit articles
Iowa Alumni Magazine occasionally accepts unsolicited articles that meet the magazine's criteria for Iowa- or UI-related content and high quality standards. To submit an article for consideration, please e-mail tina-owen@uiowa.edu brief details of the article and your writing experience.

Submit class notes and death announcements
Iowa Alumni Magazine offers sections devoted to alumni's professional news, such as promotions or career moves (because of space limitations, we are unable to run wedding or birth announcements), and to a listing of recently deceased alumni.

To submit a class note or death announcement, e-mail alumni-mag@uiowa.edu. Class notes items may be edited for style, length, and clarity. Please note that because of the magazine's bimonthly schedule and volume of news items submitted, it may be some time before class notes or obituary listings appear in print. Also, because of space limitations in the magazine, preference for these items is given to members of the UIAA.

Submit letters to the editor
Iowa Alumni Magazine welcomes letters to the editor, particularly in response to topics that have been covered in the magazine. To submit a letter to the editor, e-mail alumni-mag@uiowa.edu. Please note that we are not able to print or reply to every letter we receive. Letters to the editor may also be edited for style, length, and clarity.

Submit a book for review
Each issue, the magazine's "Escape" section briefly highlights a small selection of notable books by Iowa or UI authors or about Iowa or the University of Iowa. Because of space limitations, we regret that we are unable to feature self-published books, but alumni are welcome to submit class notes about such works.
