Ventures
Starting with this issue, Ventures magazine is
breaking new ground. The university will now
produce two issues of the magazine each year
instead of the previous four. This will allow
us to present a more robust publication with
additional news and stories about our students
and community. Additionally, we will continue
to produce an accompanying online version
of Ventures with supplemental content such as
additional photos, longer articles, and videos.
If you haven’t done so already, visit us at
