Award-winning alumni publication looks back while highlighting the SFSU of past and present 

At the turn of the millennium, San Francisco State University debuted our official alumni magazine. Twenty-five years and 51 issues later, SF State Magazine is an award-winning publication read by tens of thousands of Gator alumni. The Fall/Winter 2025 issue is now available online and in print. 

Issue highlights:

• Room to Grow: SFSU a commuter school? Not for the thousands of students thriving together in modern on-campus housing. 
• Cover Stories: Check out our favorite SF State Magazine covers since our founding in 2000.
