Viewbooks

Admissions viewbooks can be—and should be!—a school's best foot forward.

Because they are aimed at a specific target audience (prospective students), they can present a complex institution in a reasonably simple way. Combining history and tradition with contemporary stories and images, viewbooks convey what's special and positive about the school.

What goes on here? Should you go here? What will happen to you while you are here?

Our viewbooks often turn out to be surprisingly durable. One is still in use today—a decade after its first appearance—with only minimal changes to the photography and front matter.
