The Acronym

The Acronym is IMSA’s (the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy's) official student-organized newspaper. It was formed by students, for students, in 1987. When it was conceived, the Acronym was printed in the style of newspapers at the time, in other words, on actual paper! In those days, the Acronym was organized into annual volumes with issues being published on various schedules through the years.

And yes. The “Acronym” is an acronym (technically, a backronym). It stands for the “Academy’s Choice Reading: One Newspaper for You and Me.”
