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. 
  • Poetry in Motion: San Francisco’s poet laureate Genny Lim reunites with Ben Fong-Torres in our exclusive alumni Q&A. 
  • Class Notes: updates on your Gator classmates and other alumni. 
  • My SFSU Story: Alumnus and SFSU staff member Julian Dancel gives back to students living on campus. 
  • And much more. 

SF State Magazine has won numerous awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, including the 2021 Robert Sibley Magazine of the Year and a 2025 best of district award. 

Pick up your copy of SF State Magazine at the Cesar Chavez Student Center information desk. Issues are also mailed to alumni worldwide. 

Read the Fall/Winter 2025 issue of SF State Magazine.
