Shaw University alumni “You are invited to tell your story.”
Shaw University alumni are invited to share their stories about their time as a Shaw University graduate. The project called “In my words” will help to preserve the rich history of our beloved institution, as told by those who lived it. YOU!
You may have received mail and postcard communications from the facilitators, Publishing Concepts, Inc (PCI) team with instructions on how to participate. For more information you may click here —> Shaw University Oral History Project
