Owens has been successful with their student newspaper and would like to expand their publication base by creating a small, yet distinctive, magazine. This magazine will be available through subscription to current persons associated with Owens, other colleges in the state, and to alumni of Owens. The mission of the magazine is to promote Owens as a vibrant and progressive 21st century leader in all fields of education, as well as pop-culture. Hopefully, if the mission succeeds, the objectives of drawing in new students to the college and generating additional funds the school needs to pay for expansion, up-dated equipment, and perhaps to establish scholarships and grants will succeed. In other words, a great deal is on the line for this magazine to thrive.
