VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTIONS

Auburn Magazine is about you and for you. We tell stories about Auburn graduates following interesting and exciting career paths. We unabashedly shout the things we love about Auburn University and help you celebrate Auburn’s athletic victories. We also show how Auburn’s research and graduates are at the forefront of today’s trends as well as stories you won’t find anywhere else.

You’ve told us the magazine is your favorite benefit of membership, and we’re committed to keeping it coming. While we know these are difficult times for many, we are asking you for your gift of support. Your tax-deductible gift to Auburn Magazine voluntary subscription program will help ensure that the Auburn Alumni Association’s periodical – first published in 1912 – continues to survive and thrive into the future.

Your $25, $50, $100 – contribution will be used to help meet the costs of producing Auburn Magazine, consistently rated one of the best collegiate publications in the country.
