VIM Magazine, a student-run fashion, health, beauty and lifestyle magazine on campus, is one of MSU’s largest organizations. It hosts a myriad of students and backgrounds. From journalism and public relations to marketing and textile design, there’s something for everyone, and its 19 teams keep this well-oiled machine running.

“Since we’re such an established club, we run more like a business than an organization,” Creative Director Kate Blaszkiewicz said. “For me especially, it’s a very valuable asset to have on my resume because it’s unique and applicable to the professional world. Lots of employers I’ve met have been very interested in it.”

The organization bolsters vital skills in the journalism, business and fashion worlds while also working as a fun creative outlet. Gabriella Lopez, a senior journalism student and public relations director, credits VIM with helping her land internships and certain career opportunities.

“Gaining experiences so young, learning how to write press releases, reach out to companies, work with a team and come up with strategies has been the best,” Lopez said. “I wouldn’t have been able to get certain internships or meet people I’ve met without VIM. It’s amazing.”
