Welcome to ALT Magazine online! ALT is a yearly honors publication produced by seniors at Grand View University in Des Moines, IA. Each year students are selected by the magazine’s advisors to put together the award-winning publication. This year’s staff consists of 10 students who will use their combined talents of writing, designing and photography to give their reader an experience which they believe will be unmatched by any other collegiate publication.

As the staff counts down to the release of the magazine, check the magazine out online; every day the staff blogs about their experiences with the magazine and the Des Moines area. Also, watch for sneak peeks of the magazine before the release on March 30 in downtown Des Moines.

We welcome any feedback; as we like our readers, are always open to learning.
