Beautiful blend of contemporary design and elegance with touches that are a nod to its 200+-year history. Beautiful photography, engaging news section, and very well written.
The cover just grabs you. It pulls you in. Then you open it and the content delivers. Fascinating journey of the science program at the school and the intersection of science and religion. (This is my winner — and I hate annual reports in the magazine.)

Very well done. Excellent content that allows you to learn about the entire school community, lay out is fun but not overdone, photography is great (in both issues). Cover designs are creative and eye catching. Strong communication piece for the school.
This magazine has great pace and variety, visually engaging and wonderful content. Mission-centric periodical.
Love the theme and the way the feature on student activism captured the mission of the school.

Beautiful magazine that packs A LOT in for just over 60 pages. The stories are varied and well done, and the reader gets a great sense of the entire community. Very creative graphic design with the features...it reflects its reputation, feeling like a sophisticated school.

The content is excellent. The real gem is the cover story and the way they tied it back to his experience at LJCDS.
