TWU Alumni Oral History Project

With more than 116,000 TWU alumni, what better way to recognize our impact as a university community than to share stories? TWU partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts, Inc.) to produce an oral history publication. PCI is a family-owned business based in Dallas, TX that has published directories for educational institutions, greek-life affiliated organizations, and military groups across the nation for almost 100 years. 

In 2022, participants received a postcard with survey instructions from the university. Upon completion of the survey period in 2022, PCI created the Pioneer Reflections hardcover books and associated merchandise. The names, addresses and additional information provided to PCI for the publication are 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. PII (Personal Identifiable Information) from any and all electronic files that supplied to or were produced by PCI in connection with the production of the oral history project were redacted upon completion of the project.

In a few different ways:

• TWU’s legacy, since its inception in 1901, has been preserved for future generations of Pioneers. 
• The revenue generated by purchase of the books and merchandise supports alumni programs.
• Sharing these books and wearing TWU apparel shows university pride.
• Engaging with alumni for this effort and receiving updated information allowed TWU to better communicate with alumni.

The Texas Woman’s University Oral History Publication or Pioneer Reflections is available for sale only to Texas Woman’s University alumni. Contact PCI’s customer service line at 1-800-982-1590 to place your order.
