Reinhardt's Oral History Project

We know Reinhardt alumni have wonderful stories to tell and we would love to hear about your life’s journey. The Reinhardt Alumni Association has partnered with industry-leader PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to collect your stories for Reinhardt’s first Oral History Project. 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 Reinhardt 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.
