Alumni E-Magazine Revamped with New Website, Email Design

A newly designed and reorganized UToledo Alumni e-Magazine hit email boxes in January after months of collaborative work between the marketing web team and the Alumni Association.

The e-Magazine is sent monthly to more than 71,000 alumni and University friends to connect, communicate news and events, and celebrate alumni achievements.

The new look to the e-magazine and companion website is aligned with the University’s brand and integrates the Alumni Associations updated tower logo. The redesign is mobile friendly and compliant with the Americans with Disability Act standards, making it more accessible to alumni readers on phones, tablets and desktop. The popular Class Notes section also was upgraded to allow visitors to sort class notes by decade or issue.

Alumni stories celebrating achievements are the focus of the homepage with clear navigation to other features including UToledo President Sharon Gaber’s columns, UToledo in the news features, Class Notes, upcoming events and past issues.

Behind the scenes, the new email and website bring in-house the management and hosting of the monthly electronic publication, providing alumni staff the flexibility of managing their content directly, cost savings for production and distribution, and direct access to user analytics.
