About Us

An alumnus reads UMass Magazine at home, in a bright room with houseplants and cozy furniture.

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 Massachusetts legislators. UMass faculty and staff can opt for print or digital delivery. All alumni, current parents, faculty, staff, and students receive the online version of the magazine.

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