Mensa Bulletin

Mensa Bulletin

The Mensa Bulletin is the national magazine for members of American Mensa, published 10 times a year with combined issues in April/May and November/December. An online companion to the Bulletin uses the flexibility of the Internet to increase the scope of the magazine. Your membership dues payment includes a subscription to the Bulletin.

What's the Mensa Bulletin all about?

The Mensa Bulletin is all new.  Every page has been redesigned — new fonts, new headlines, new design styles. Departments received makeovers; the news section was expanded; even the letters section got a little more room. Most importantly, though, the Bulletin is for and about our members.

In addition to the member-generated content and photos, each issue includes a “question of the month” in which we ask members to share their thoughts (in 250 words or less) about a general-interest topic like "What invention would you want to cease to exist?" We're posing these questions and more to Mensans — they don't have to be professional writers to contribute, but they do have to be members of Mensa.

Here is an idea of some of our monthly content and a sample of the articles you can expect:
