The Yale Alumni Magazine is an alumni magazine about Yale University. It was founded in 1891.

The Magazine's statement of purpose approved on June 16, 2003 says:[1]

The Yale Alumni Magazine is published by Yale Alumni Publications, Inc., an independent nonprofit corporation whose chartered purpose is 'to arouse, foster, and maintain interest in and disseminate information regarding Yale University and regarding educational matters; and to promote generally the welfare and interests of the University.'

Hal Boyle praised the magazine in a 1957 column.[2]

Yale University took over operations of the Yale Alumni Magazine in 2015.[3] As of July 2015 the editor-in-chief was Kathrin Day Lassila.[3]

In 2014, a cover of the magazine that featured the headline "Reaching beyond the low-hanging fruit," with the subhed "Yale College seeks smart students from poor families. They're out there — but hard to find," was widely criticized.[4][5]
