Â鶹´«Ã½

UPDATE 10/30/2023: Learn more about the project

We all have favorite stories from our time as Â鶹´«Ã½ students. These college "core memories" form a part of our alumni relationships with Â鶹´«Ã½. Sometimes our stories cross over and are shared with other alumni, sometimes they are unique to us. But what is constant is the fact that Â鶹´«Ã½'s institutional story, and that of our alumni association, comes to life through our collective stories and experiences.

As part of Â鶹´«Ã½'s 100th Homecoming celebration, the Â鶹´«Ã½ Alumni Association is inviting alumni from across our Bear Network to share and record their part of Â鶹´«Ã½'s story through the Alumni Oral History Project.

In partnership with production company the Â鶹´«Ã½ Alumni Association will reach out to our alumni community, invite you to call a dedicated phone line and answer questions about your Â鶹´«Ã½ experience. Your recorded stories will form part of our collective Alumni Oral History. Participating alumni will also have an opportunity to purchase a copy of the oral history production, but are under no obligation to do so. The Alumni Association will maintain a copy of the digital and printed reproduction of the Alumni Oral History project as part of our alumni archives.

How to Participate:

Alumni should have received a postcard and/or email from me inviting you to update your information and share your story. Call the 1-800 number included in the message to participate. PCI will assign you a specific code so that your stories are correctly matched to your alumni record.

More Information:

Alumni messages and invitations are being sent out as of October 30, 2023. But you are welcome to reach out to me directly and I will gladly answer any questions you have about the project, final production and data privacy.  Visit the Alumni Oral History Project page to learn more.

I hope that Bears from across our community choose to participate and I can't wait to hear your favorite Â鶹´«Ã½ stories.

Once a Bear, Always a Bear!
