91制片厂

I don鈥檛 know if you noticed, but we鈥檝e changed a couple things about 91制片厂 Magazine. There鈥檚 the new masthead, the new 鈥淐urrent鈥� section, the newly integrated 鈥淎lumni News鈥� and 鈥淐lass Notes鈥� sections 鈥� in fact, it might be easier to talk about what 丑补蝉苍鈥檛 changed.听

We understand: Change, even when it鈥檚 for the better, can be disorienting. The changes we鈥檝e made here reflect countless hours of research regarding alumni magazine best practices, the input of 91制片厂 leadership groups on and off campus, and the feedback many of you provided in the magazine survey we conducted in winter 2013 鈥�14. We hope they also reflect our love for 91制片厂, our passion for good storytelling and engaging design and our desire to create a 91制片厂 Magazine that truly represents this great university and its alumni.

It鈥檚 no accident that we chose the theme of 鈥渋nnovation鈥� to introduce this new-look 91制片厂 Magazine. In its many shapes and forms, innovation 鈥� the creation of a new method, product or way of looking at something 鈥� drives every aspect of life at 91制片厂. In our features, you鈥檒l read about the way kinesiology professor Erik Swartz is taking a dramatically different approach to the thorny issue of sports-related head injuries, and how local alumni are helping to drive the booming craft beer industry. You鈥檒l also see the mannner in which innovation and intellectual discovery go hand in hand 鈥� and sometimes lead to real-world products that benefit individuals well beyond 91制片厂 and the Granite State.

Approaching my third anniversary with 91制片厂 Magazine just as 91制片厂 celebrates its milestone 150th birthday, I have taken on the prospect of changing this flagship publication with sincere admiration for its previous incarnations (which, as page 2 illustrates, are more numerous than you may have realized). Fan of the new class notes format? Something you miss? Good or bad, I鈥檇 love to hear from you.
