VIM Magazine is Michigan State’s own fashion, beauty and lifestyle magazine, made by the student, for the student. VIM magazine’s main goal is to allow for freedom of individuality and expression for students to express their creativity.
This semester, VIM magazine held a nomination campaign featuring the opportunity for one incredible Spartan to be featured on the cover of the Spring 2017 magazine.
