Past Issues

We Tell Your Stories!

Alumni stories. They're countless… fascinating, inspiring, moving. All different… but each revealing a glimpse of our common experience at UNM… and our common humanity.

With so many stories, it's impossible to find time and space for them all. Mirage magazine is a start. An award-winning magazine, Mirage is published tri-annually by the UNM Alumni Association and is the foremost tie between UNM and its alumni and friends. Currently all alumni receive the magazine without charge. As more alumni turn to the internet, we hope to increase Mirage's presence online. Eventually, we plan to update the print magazine and to bring new content to the online version between print issues.

Mirage: Spring 2010 A former Miss Rodeo's entrepreneurial spirit leads her to design and sell spirited clothing and jewelry for Western women. The future of Native American children motivates a perceptive educator to create and lead a new charter school. The play's the thing for many playwriting grads. Their works are coming to life on stage. Looking for a good brew? This alum's job is to tell you where and how to find one. X Game athletes look to a UNM alum for emergency care. And much more!

Mirage: Winter 2010 NBA All-Star and former Lobo Danny Granger fills our cover with good cheer. Read about an alum at Cambridge University whose computerized "maps" show the evolution of influenza viruses. Be inspired by young Regents' Scholar alumni who have taken their place in the world as lawyers, doctors, a pharmacist, a political theorist, an actress, and a professor. Follow the experience of an alum who learns firsthand about Mexican immigrants. Warm your heart with a story of friendship through the years. And find out how type style affects the message you're trying to convey.

Howler: The Howler e-newsletter once updated alumni about Alumni Association and campus events and personalities. With the advent of our new website, we've begun sending a “lighter” version of the Howler to announce our new web features, stories and updates.
