Today
A typical issue of Pi Magazine contains a wide variety of sections of supposed interest to UCL students, such as special features and sections such as arts, music and fashion. Pi Magazine was shortlisted for 'Best Magazine of the Year' at the Guardian Student Media Awards in 2009 and was subsequently awarded runner-up.
Alongside the magazine, Pi Squared was launched in October 2006 as a sister publication in newspaper form. Its second issue made it well-read around the university with an article describing toilets in the main building of UCL as a 'cruising zone' for men looking for sex with students. In 2009, the name was changed to Pi Newspaper and it has since been notable for high level interviews (for instance, Archbishop Desmond Tutu) and organising lectures and speakers for the general UCL community.
Both publications are distributed around the UCL campus, including UCL Union bars, departmental common rooms and libraries.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“Even today . . . experts, usually male, tell women how to be mothers and warn them that they should not have children if they have any intention of leaving their side in their early years. . . . Children don’t need parents’ full-time attendance or attention at any stage of their development. Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
