College Magazine articles are written by students and the cover-features focus on students with success stories. Nachman said of the publication, "I wanted this to be more than just a how-to guide ... This is a chance for other students to be inspired by their peers' experiences." In April 2009, College Magazine's business plan won first prize in the University of Maryland's "Cupid's Cup" Business Competition sponsored by Kevin Plank.
