UChicago Magazine

Each story in the magazine must have a connection to the University, whether explicit or indirect. Besides that, our scope is wide. In the feature section, we profile alumni who’ve gone on to interesting adventures or remarkable achievements, excerpt books by Chicago authors, and print in-depth accounts of research happening on campus. Sometimes we tap University scholars to tackle current political, cultural, or scientific issues. We also chronicle major events on campus and occasionally publish first-person essays by alumni or faculty. Typical feature lengths range between 2,500 and 3,500 words. Outside the feature well, the magazine is divided into a handful of departments. Three are partly freelance-written: Chicago Journal, which covers campus news; Investigations, which covers faculty research; and Arts &amp; Letters, which covers the work of alumni artists, musicians, and scholars. Each of these sections contains two to four stories (600 to 850 words) that spotlight a particular person, event, or research project.
