History of Xavier Magazine
Xavier magazine was first published by the Office of Marketing and Communications (then known as the Department of Public Relations) in 1970 as Xavier. It was a "quarterly publication of general interest circulated both on and off the campus." It contained articles and updates about faculty, staff, students, and alumni as well as programs and events of the university. In September 1983 its title changed to Xavier Today. In summer 1990, it became Xavier University Magazine. From 1993 to 2000, it was published as Xavier: The Magazine of Xavier University. From spring 2000-2015, it was published as Xavier.
