About Us

UP Magazine is a student-run organization at Miami University made up of more than 100 passionate students across a variety of disciplines. Led by a team of 19 directors, the organization is guided by the Editor-in-Chief, Creative Director, and Publisher, who collectively shape the creative direction and vision of all content produced.

​

We exist to amplify student voices through bold storytelling, innovative design, and a fearless exploration of culture, identity, and creativity. We are a platform for emerging visionaries—curating content that reflects the pulse of campus life while pushing boundaries in fashion, art, and thought. Rooted in collaboration and authenticity, we empower our community to speak up, stand out, and shape what’s next!

​

Each year, UP publishes two high-quality print issues featuring original writing, photography, styling, and beauty artistry—brought to life by our talented staff of writers, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, and hairstylists.

​

Beyond print, UP thrives as a multi-platform publication. Our blog team, social media team, and videography team work year-round to deliver fresh digital content—from blog articles and creative social posts to behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube.

​

The event planning, marketing, and communications teams support our brand from all angles—organizing on-campus events, promoting our issues, and building connections with campus partners, companies, and alumni across and beyond Oxford.

​

Together, we are more than a magazine. We are a collective of creators shaping culture, sparking conversation, and celebrating student voices!
