WHY SHOULD I ADVERTISE IN THE
MONTANAN?

The Montanan, the award-winning magazine of the University of Montana, is published three times a year
and distributed to more than 100,000 households of alumni, friends, and supporters throughout the state,
nation, and world. The magazine informs readers about what’s going on at the University and inspires
loyalty that will keep alumni and friends connected to UM their entire lives. Every edition includes a campus
feature, an alumni profile, and a trend piece that delves into the arts, entertainment, business, music,
or sports. In addition, the magazine also includes campus news in “Around the Oval,” updates from our
alums in the popular “About Alumni” section, and historical looks at campus in “Artifacts.”
