Advertising
The Gazette is an ideal advertising vehicle; its readership is clearly defined so you can be sure your message will reach your target audience. Because it is a major source of information about Memorial, the Gazette is widely read by university employees, students, members of government and the media.
The Gazette's well-designed pages ensure your ad is not lost in the crowd. Each 12-page issue is tabloid-sized for easy reading, and features news items, profiles, regular columns on research, student views, calendar listings and a classified ad section.
Each spring and fall, the Gazette records the highlights of convocation. In addition, throughout the year the Gazette devotes issues to parents and new students, developments in research and teaching, and books published by Memorial authors.
