About

About us: Since 1909, The Gargoyle has delivered laughs to generations of Wolverines.

Fundraising Goal: This year, we’re fundraising for a glossy cover upgrade for at least one edition of the magazine. So, why glossy?

  • It improves visual quality of our publication with more brilliant images and crisper details!
  • It will make the physical magazine more durable.
  • It contributes to a more professionalized look.
  • It is a dedication to continuous improvements and innovations.
  • It expands our page count of the Gargoyle so more students can contribute and see their name in print!
  • It's an homage to our predecessors who have long supported a return to our glossy publication.

This is a new look worthy of our century-old comedy. A glossy finish not only preserves our issues as keepsakes for alumni and current readers, but also showcases the art and writing of current students in a visually appealing way. With the support of donors, we’ll give The Gargoyle the shine it deserves for its next century.


Matching Opportunity: Our fundraising this year includes an additional incentive. Through the University of Michigan, any monthly recurring donation of $100 or less will be DOUBLED with matching funds for a whole year! That means your donation could go twice as far to support The Gargoyle!
