Spark

The official alumni magazine of Calvin University

Calvin Spark is the triannual magazine of the Calvin Alumni Association. Intended primarily for the 65,000 members of the association, the publication also aims to build relationships with Calvin friends and reflect a reformed Christian perspective to anyone reading the magazine.

First published in the spring of 1954, Spark continues the legacy of alumni communication begun with the initiation of the “Alumni Letter” in 1925.
