ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø

We have partnered with PCI (Publishing Concepts Inc.) to produce an oral history publication for the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Alumni Association. PCI is a family-owned business based in Dallas, Texas, 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 UAF and how the school helped shape your life since then. And, while we have you on the phone, we want to make sure your contact information is up to date.

A large-scale alumni data verification and oral history project requires a tremendous amount of effort and resources. By partnering with PCI, we're able to access their trained staff, who are excited to listen to what you have to share. PCI will also help collect and assemble the stories into a unique piece of UAF Alumni Association memorabilia. Please note that we have only shared your contact information with PCI in conjunction with this project. We have NOT sold your contact information or otherwise used it for outside marketing purposes. PCI will not use your information for any purpose beyond this oral history project.

You will receive a postcard in the mail. This is a postcard sent on behalf of the UAF Alumni Relations Office, distributed by our partner PCI. Once you receive the postcard, please follow the instructions to update your information and set up an interview time to share your memories. You may also receive an email. Once you receive the email, please follow the instructions to update your information and set up an interview time to share your memories.

Yes, in a few different ways:

• Updated information — allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni
• Legacy — 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. Upon completion of the project, PCI will redact personal identifiable information from all electronic files that we have supplied or were produced by PCI in connection with the production of the oral history project.

• 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 all 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 the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. Your story will be recorded, and the sound clip will be provided to UAF 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.
• If you did not receive a postcard or email, you may call the dedicated University of Alaska Fairbanks update line at 1-866-571-1430.
• If you are living outside the U.S. or are unable to call the update line, please email PCIservice@publshingconcepts.com. PCI will send you a personalized link for you to share your written story and photo.
