PCI Oral History Project
Javelinas, More than Memories
Share Your Story!
Whether you attended the Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Texas A&I, College of Arts and Industries, South Texas Teacher's College, every Javelina Alumnus has a story, and the Javelina Alumni Association wants to hear you.
We’ve embarked on a new oral history project in partnership with PCI to collect the stories of alumni like you. We are asking you to share your favorite memories of your time in Kingsville. These stories will be preserved in a book and audio recording that celebrates the impact our alma mater has had on many lives, over our nearly 100 year history.
