With this Spring 2009 issue, we are trying a new approach to presenting Pacific magazine on the web. You will still find our various “web extras” here, but a click below now leads to the full magazine online with its original graphic presentation intact. You may view it here: Main Magazine Content

The new "Flex" pages, as this approach is called, also employ a number of tools designed to help readers zoom in and out, quickly navigate sections and electronically turn pages

We hope you’ll enjoy this new approach. Tell us what you think at pacificmag@pacificu.edu.
