Every Graceland alum has a story—of friendship, transformation, challenge, and growth. Whether your journey began in a residence hall, on the court or field, in the classroom, or on the stage, your story is a vital part of Graceland’s history.
The Alumni Programs team invites you to share your unique Graceland story through a special oral history project. This is your chance to reflect on the moments that shaped you—and to be part of a collection that honors the impact of Graceland across generations.
Thanks to a partnership with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), this project will result in a commemorative book featuring stories from alumni around the world. PCI will also assist us in updating alumni contact information to help Graceland stay meaningfully connected with our global community.
Let your story be heard. Help us celebrate 100 years of Homecoming and a legacy that continues to grow—one Gracelander at a time.
PCI has currently been sending postcards and emails to our alumni. Simply follow the steps to update your information and set up a time to share your story with one of their staff members.
We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce an Oral History Publication for Graceland University. 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 Graceland University and how the school helped to 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.
No problem!
Alumni can call the PCI customer service number at 1.800.982.1590 or email PCIservice@publishingconcepts.com if you would like to be removed from the project.
Yes, in a few different ways:
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.
Your information will not be sold, distributed, or used in any other manner than creating the Graceland Forever: Alumni Stories story book by PCI.
If you would like to participate and are Deaf/Hard of Hearing, please email customerservice@publishingconcepts.com. PCI will send you a personalized link for you to share your written story and photo.
The only information that is included in the publication is your name, class year, and degree, along with your story and photo. No contact information is printed. When you call to update your contact information, it will only be used to update your alumni record for the school/alumni association. You may revoke consent for your story and/or photo to appear any time before 12/5/2025 by contacting PCI’s customer service helpdesk at 1-800-982-1590 / PCIservice@publishingconcepts.com.
You can call back at any time before 12/5/2025 to share your story.
You will receive an email with a link to upload one photo (black and white or color) plus a caption.
If you have also purchased a book but do not have an email address on file, you will be sent a photo mailer to send a physical photo in to be printed (note: the photo will be returned if you include a self-addressed, stamped envelope).
The Graceland University Oral History Publication is available for sale only to Graceland University alumni.
The total duration of the Oral History Project is about 12-15 months. Since we began the project in June of 2025, the books will be distributed from June through September 2026.
Contact PCI’s customer service helpdesk at 1-800-982-1590 and they will take care of this for you.
