Coming soon to a mailbox near you: Y Magazine, the renamed and redesigned flagship magazine of BYU, replacing BYU Magazine with an all-new vibe.

Right now, you can take a sneak peek online, with a slam-dunk cover story on Mark Pope, a think-piece on the relationship of faith and science, and tons of alumni stories. Read about the reasoning and recipe for the latest buffet of all things BYU: “A Feast for Brighams and Youngs.”

Enjoy what Men’s Chorus members describe as a “song of hope, love, and unity [that] lifted our spirits as we sang it during some very dark days.”
