We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce an Oral History Publication for Aquinas College. PCI is a family-owned business based in Dallas, TX that has published directories for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation for over 100 years.

This project allows us to hear about your personal experiences from your time at Aquinas College and how the school helped to shape your life since then. And, while they have you on the phone, we want to make sure your contact information is up to date.

Yes, in a few different ways:

  • Updated Information – allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni
  • Heritage – sharing and collecting stories preserves the history of our school
  • Pride – wearing apparel shows support and love for our school

PCI is committed to protecting your information. The names, addresses and information provided to PCI for the publication of the Oral History Project will be held confidential by PCI, except to the extent that they are utilized in, or in the preparation of, the Oral History Project and except as required by court order or law.

  • If you have received a postcard or an email with a telephone number, you may call the number to speak with a dedicated representative for the Oral History Project. The representative will verify the information we have on file for you, make any updates where needed, and then ask you to share your story about your time at Aquinas College. Your story will be recorded, and the sound clip provided to Aquinas College at the conclusion of the project. 
  • If you have received an email with an embedded link, you may go to the online site to review your information and submit a story.
