Frequently asked questions

I received an email/postcard/phone call from a company asking for my personal information and a story about the Fulton Schools of Engineering. Tell me more about the project.

We have partnered with Publishing Concepts Inc. (PCI) to produce an oral history publication for the Fulton Schools of Engineering. PCI is a family-owned business based in Dallas, Texas, that has published directories for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities and military organizations across the nation for more than 100 years. This project allows us to hear about your personal experiences from your time in the Fulton Schools and how your school helped to shape your life since then. And when we have you on the phone, we want to make sure your contact information is up to date.

Does the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering benefit from this at all?

Yes, in a few different ways:

  • Updated information – allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni.
  • Legacy – sharing and collecting stories preserves the history of our school.
  • Pride – wearing apparel shows support and love for the Fulton Schools.

How do I know my information will only be used for Oral History Project purposes?

PCI is committed to protecting your information. The names, addresses and information provided to PCI for the publication of the Oral History Project will be 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.

I would like to verify or update my information and share a story. How may I do this?

If you have received a postcard or an email with a telephone number, you may call the number to speak with a dedicated representative for the Oral History Project. The representative will verify the information we have on file for you, make any updates where needed, and then ask you to share your story about your time at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Your story will be recorded, and the sound clip provided to the Fulton Schools at the conclusion of the project.

How can I participate if I am hearing or speech impaired?

If you would like to participate and are hearing or speech impaired, please email [email protected]. PCI will send you a personalized link for you to share your written story and photo.

Can I choose what information is printed in the publication?

The only information that is included in the publication is your name, class year and degree, along with your story and photo. No contact information is printed. When you call to update your contact information, it will only be used to update your alumni record for the Fulton Schools. You may revoke consent for your story and/or photo to appear any time before Friday, October 13, 2023, by contacting PCI’s customer service help desk at 1-800-982-1590 or [email protected].

I updated my information but need some more time to think about what experience to share.

You can call back at any time before Friday, October 13, 2023, to share your story.

I shared a story and the representative said I could send a photo. How do I do this?

You will receive an email with a link to upload one photo (black and white or color) plus a caption.

If you have also purchased a book but do not have an email address on file, you will be sent a photo mailer to send a physical photo in to be printed (note: the photo will be returned if you include a self-addressed, stamped envelope).

Can anyone purchase a book?

The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering oral history publication is available for sale only to Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering alumni.

I ordered a book / package over the phone and would like to cancel my order. How do I do this?

Contact PCI’s customer service help desk at 1-800-982-1590 and they will take care of this for you.
