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:
“How many things served us but yesterday as articles of faith, which today we deem but fables?”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“In times past there were rituals of passage that conducted a boy into manhood, where other men passed along the wisdom and responsibilities that needed to be shared. But today we have no rituals. We are not conducted into manhood; we simply find ourselves there.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artis tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language.”
—Robert Menzies (1894–1978)
