Year in and year out, the Magazine staff stacks up words and images, charting the ever-changing campus and alumni landscape of news and ideas with award-winning writers’ blocks: bimonthly print issues, web exclusives, biweekly e-newsletters, and daily tweets, with mobile-friendly editions coming this summer. To help underwrite its costs, the Magazine welcomes gifts of any size. If you give $50 or more, we'll send a thank-you package of eight maple blocks, packed in a maroon drawstring bag—your own set of UChicago thinkers’ toys. Bookshelves, tables, and desks around the globe await a pocket-sized campus that needs a place to call home.
