NUHOC Magazine: Excelsior

Excelsior is NUHOC’s annual-ish publication that highlights tons of the trips and exciting things that happen in NUHOC each year!

For each edition of Excelsior, we assemble a team of NUHOC members to work on the magazine. This includes writers, photographers, artists, designers, editors, and more. We also hold a cover contest to see who can design the best cover. If you’re interested in helping out with the making of the next Excelsior issue, reach out to the VP Publicity.

We typically print out several physical copies of each year’s edition which can be found up at the Loj! You can also look through the digital versions below.
