Alumni History Project
Do you have fond memories of your time at Moravian? Would you like to share your story?
As Moravian University celebrates its 285th anniversary, we’re honoring our alumni who have helped shape Moravian’s legacy.
On Monday, August 21, the Office of Alumni Engagement launched the Moravian University Alumni History Project, a special opportunity for alumni to share their favorite Moravian stories and experiences. This history project provides alumni with the chance to tell their story in their own words. After the collection is complete, these unique stories will be compiled into a book that celebrates the experiences, memories, and traditions that make the Moravian community special.
This opportunity is possible through a partnership with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI). In addition to collecting stories, PCI will assist the Office of Alumni Engagement in gathering updated contact information from alumni to ensure we have the most accurate information available to stay connected our alumni across the nation and beyond.
Keep an eye on your mailbox and inbox!
As the Moravian University Alumni History Project gets underway, you may receive a postcard in the mail, as well as emails, with information about the project and instructions for how to participate. Be on the lookout for your invitation to share your Moravian story!

Frequently Asked Questions
Tell me more about the project.
The Moravian University Alumni History Project is a special opportunity for alumni to share their favorite stories and most cherished memories from their time at Moravian. In partnership with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), Moravian will collect alumni stories over a six-month period beginning in late August 2026.
Alumni will be invited to call a dedicated 1-800 number and speak with a professional call taker and interviewer who will record their story. The stories will be compiled into a hardbound keepsake book celebrating the experiences and memories that make the Moravian community special.
PCI is a family-owned business based in Dallas, TX, that has published directories and history publications for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation for more than 100 years.
