“Four times a year, Legacy magazine strives to fascinate, entertain, intrigue and inform readers of current events both thought provoking and cutting-edge. Our goal is to continually raise the journalistic and artistic standards of a student publication — that is our Legacy to LSU.” 

Legacy magazine was first published in 1994 as a general interest student publication. Originally named Gumbo Magazine and only published twice a year, Legacy is now distributed quarterly throughout the LSU campus and community.

Operating under the concept of literary journalism, Legacy provides readers with intriguing feature articles that remain relevant long after they are published. From in-depth profiles and reports to practical advice, humor, essays, and reflections, Legacy sheds light on unique details of Baton Rouge life and campus culture to fascinate, entertain, and inform members of the LSU community.
