The Summer 2025 issue of Southern Alumni Magazine is now online.
With features on:
- Southern’s ironclad commitment to student research — and the university’s distinction as the first and only Carnegie-designated R2 (Research 2) institution in Connecticut.
- Dozens of alumni educators leading the way at one of Connecticut’s top high schools.
- An alumni-owned coffeehouse voted “Best in New Haven” — rooted in a business plan originally submitted for a Southern course assignment.
- Writing advice from recently published grads — and one author’s inspiring journey from first-generation college student to award-winning novelist.
We’re also celebrating the 100th anniversary of the SCSU Alumni Association and sharing a Southern love story courtesy of alumni writer Allison Stoutland. She and her husband, Jeff Stoutland, have a combined four Southern degrees, writing credentials, and two Super Bowl championships.
Plus: alumni news and notes, campus snapshots, and more.
