About the Flame

The Flame was founded in fall 2000. Over the past three years it has been received the Council for Advancement and Support of Education’s District VII gold, silver, and bronze award for best university magazine (a complete set), and several awards for writing.

The Flame is produced three times a year and can be read online or in our print edition (to subscribe send your request along with address to flame@cgu.edu).

In between issues, keep up to date on Claremont Graduate University by following our Facebook page or watching videos on our YouTube channel. Of course, you can also visit our campus and attend one of our many events and guest lectures. A full schedule of campus activity can be found in our e-mail newsletter, the CGU Bugle, which is released every Monday morning.
