SOUTHERN'S ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
Southern's Oral History Project
If you are contacted by PCI, please consider sharing stories of your Southern experience with them. These stories will be collected for an online interactive story wall and printed in Southern's Oral History book.
If you haven't been contacted by PCI but you would like to share your story, you may do so by calling 1-855-976-2516. We'd love to hear your story!
Please note that while you will have the opportunity purchase the book and other Southern items, a purchase is NOT required or expected for the inclusion of your story.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information and a story about Southern Adventist University. Tell me more about the project.
Does Southern Adventist University benefit from this at all?
Yes, in a few different ways:
- Updated Information – this allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni
- Legacy – sharing and collecting stories preserves the history of our school
- Revenue (if applicable) – generates non-dues revenue for alumni programs
- School Spirit – wearing apparel shows support and love for our school
