Lewis University's Alumni Office is excited to announce that we are partnering up with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to document our rich history through the Lewis History Project. As we enter Lewis' 90th Anniversary Year, we decided to embark on this journey to collect stories from our Lewis alumni and friends and celebrate the Lewis experience.
Through the Lewis History Project, you will be able to tell your unique #LewisU story to be part of the Lewis History Book. From memories in The Flyer's Den or meeting your Lewis Sweetheart to profound classroom experiences and memorable professors - YOUR story matters. We hope you will participate in this project and help us preserve the very best of Lewis University.
PCI Partnership
To support our effort to capture your stories, Lewis is partnering with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), whose trained staff will work with us to interview you. PCI is excited to collect and assemble the stories into a Lewis University History Book. The collection of stories will be available for purchase from PCI and also published in the Library of Congress!
You will be getting emails and postcards soon asking to veryify your alumni information and share your story.
Please note, we have only shared your contact information with PCI for this project. They cannot share or sell your information.
