Title of entry: Fall 2021 Lost & Round and Spring 2021 WEGL

About this entry: This entry is two of the four magazines published for our alumni in 2021. These issues represent the diversity of content and features, creativity of writing and design and depth of issues and articles that we explore at Auburn Magazine. We covered topics ranging from heartwarming (Lemons to Lemonade) to somber (The News Came Second), to quirky (Lost and Round). Our design team works hard to bring each story to life visually by creating custom typographic titles and developing photography/illustrations specifically for the stories. The positive feedback from our readers proves we have been successful in our visual storytelling. Each issue represents a well-rounded overview of what’s happening on and off campus at the university, and where Auburn degrees have taken our alumni and the impact our alumni have had on our world. The magazine is well received by alumni, friends and members of the Auburn Alumni Association. It is viewed as the most popular member benefit of the alumni association. Once a year, we send one issue to all alumni to promote the magazine and membership. This ups our circulation from approximately 45,000 to 200,000.
