Alumni Oral History Publication
Brooklyn College has partnered with PCI (Publishing Concepts, Inc.) to create a special Oral History Publication celebrating the experiences and achievements of our alumni. As part of this project, you may receive emails, postcards, or phone calls from PCI inviting you to share your Brooklyn College story and verify your contact information. Through this initiative, we will preserve the personal stories, memories, and accomplishments of our alumni while ensuring we can stay connected with our Brooklyn College community for years to come. PCI is collecting stories between July 24, 2026, and January 22, 2027.
