Write for Perspectives Magazine!
The UMR Communications Committee produces three Perspectives magazine each year. The committee is always soliticing articles for the following topic areas:
- Inside UMR
Region updates and information. This section is dedicated to updates from inside the UMR region, mostly submitted by current executives and committee members. - Perspectives
An opportunity to write articles focused by the magazine theme. However, not all articles for this section must be directly related to the theme. We encourage submissions that represent the wide variety of perspectives that are within our region. - The Personal Side
