Willamette University wanted a magazine that would bring alumni closer to their alma mater and to each other. They wanted it to be original, smart and witty. "Not your typical alumni magazine."
We created a beautiful, high-quality print and digital publication that hits the mark - generating excitement and pride in the institution.
It exudes swagger, right from the logo which ends in a period. Willamette. It’s confident and definitive, like the university itself.
“If you are seeking partners who are as invested in you, your project, and your team as you are, then look no further than Studio Wyse. From start to finish, the team has guided us, challenged us, and ultimately produced a publication we are incredibly proud of. Their team is composed of professional, high-caliber creatives and industry experts. They started by helping us conceptualize a new alumni magazine, something entirely different: a print periodical as original, modern, and surprising as the University itself. Studio Wyse delivered. Our inboxes have been filled with notes of congratulations, thanks, and true engagement with the content. We are thrilled with the outcome. Studio Wyse receives my highest recommendation and endorsement.”

“Hello all — our neighbors in Alaska, natives of Houston, always used to shout ‘Hot Damn!’ when they heard something truly exciting and maybe even slightly alarming or shocking. For native Oregonians, it was always fun but a little disconcerting to hear them carrying on. But when I got my Willamette magazine and gave it a quick read, it was exactly what I said. Content, format, colors and print styles were all… terrific. Thank you all for a fresh, new look at WU! It makes you want to leave it on your coffee table in a sort of proud, modestly boastful way. Well done!”
-Lynne Saxton, past chair of the Board of Trustees
More than just a digital extension of the print publication, the accompanying website provides an interactive, accessible hub where alumni can find bonus content, ongoing updates, and links to the extended Willamette alumni community.
