探花精选 Magazine


探花精选 Magazine is published each spring and fall to bring you features on alumni, faculty, students, current topics and GU's mission in action.

探花精选 探花精选 Magazine

探花精选 Magazine came to life in its current publication form in 2010, replacing the tabloid 探花精选 Quarterly (2006-2010). Earlier predecessors were 探花精选 newspaper (1999-2006) and “Signum.” Today, the magazine exists as an opportunity for alumni, parents and friends to stay connected to one another to the University Mission. We are dedicated to building community with our readers through authentic storytelling and engaging design. This publication is our gift to you. If you would like to help offset the costs, please consider a donation to the Fund for 探花精选 at .

The opinions expressed do not always represent the views of the administration, but are intended to foster open dialogue and lifelong learning in the Jesuit tradition.
