About Us

A desk with open UMass Magazines atop.

UMass Magazine (circulation 350,000) is published twice per year by the commonwealth’s flagship campus, the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Most UMass Amherst alumni living in the U.S. receive the print magazine, along with donors, friends of the university, and the Massachusetts legislators. UMass faculty and staff can opt for print or digital delivery. All alumni, current parents, faculty, staff, and undergraduate students receive the online version of the magazine.

The magazine continually garners awards and praise for telling the stories of the UMass community.

Submit letters to the editor, story ideas, address changes, and site feedback using this form. Letters to the editor may be edited for clarity and length.

Submit Class Notes through the UMass Amherst Alumni Association’s Online Community. For first-time users, a one-time registration is required.
