Published quarterly by the Northampton Community College Foundation, the magazine has a circulation of 40,000. Most articles are written by members of the College staff. Co-editors are Paul Joly, director of marketing and publications at the College, and Jim Johnson, director of duplicating and mail services. The designer is Traci Anfuso-Young who teaches graphic design at the College. Anfuso-Young and Johnson are both NCC graduates.

The college’s annual report also won a bronze in this competition and in national communications contests sponsored by the Admissions Marketing Report and by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations.
