Mission

Preserving one of the oldest traditions of Stephen F. Austin State University, the Stone Fort staff strives to create a yearbook that accurately captures the essence of SFA and what it means to be a Lumberjack. Through compelling storytelling, captivating images and imaginative design, the staff works to foster a sense of community while developing talented students who share passions for journalism and art. Each volume is intended to portray the SFA student experience with accuracy and integrity, serving as one of the university’s primary sources of recorded history.

About

The Stone Fort is SFA’s award-winning, independent yearbook, a tradition dating all the way back to the school’s founding. The first Stone Fort was published in spring 1924 and recorded SFA’s first academic year for future generations of Lumberjacks. Each year since, the student staff has created a unique, hard-cover volume that includes photos, in-depth stories, up-to-the-minute trends and long-held university traditions. The SFA yearbook serves as a snapshot of SFA history for posterity and a one-of-a-kind keepsake to help Lumberjacks remember their college experience.

The Stone Fort student staff includes an editor-in-chief, section editors, photographers and designers. Applications for paid positions are accepted in late spring for the following academic year. Interested students may apply online.

SFA students are encouraged to purchase an annual subscription, ensuring you will receive a yearbook for each year you are enrolled at SFA. Subscriptions are available for purchase during all summer Orientation sessions, or you may subscribe online at any time. To subscribe, log in to your mySFA account and click on “Campus Life”, “Other Information” and “Order Your Stone Fort Yearbook.” The cost of the yearbook is $67, and the charge will be added to your fall SFA eBill every year once you submit the online form. To cancel a yearbook order, call Student Publications at 936.468.4703 before the Nov. 1 cancelation deadline each year.
