St. Olaf Magazine<\/em>, the award-winning magazine of St. Olaf College, features stories that are written by professional writers and developed by the editor of St. Olaf Magazine<\/em>, in consultation with the chief marketing officer, within the overarching strategic goals of the college as directed by the president of the college and the St. Olaf Board of Regents. St. Olaf Magazine<\/em> stories have always met the criteria of these longstanding guidelines and goals.<\/p>\n

St. Olaf Magazine<\/em> stories showcase the strengths of the college, its students, and its alumni. The magazine strives to provide balanced coverage of topics that include (but are not limited to): academic innovation and high-impact practices; vocation and career preparedness; new college initiatives; faculty-mentored research; interdisciplinary learning communities; off-campus study; and topics relating to the challenges facing higher education, such as ensuring access and affordability. Alumni profiles showcase graduates whose exceptional achievements and professional contributions, leadership, and service, exemplify St. Olaf College\u2019s tradition of excellence.<\/p>\n

St. Olaf Magazine<\/em> aims to strengthen personal connections to St. Olaf College through alumni engagement, inspiring alumni to financially support their college through regular giving, volunteering, serving as Ole ambassadors, offering internships and mentoring current students, and providing career guidance and opportunities for young alumni.
