The Project
Every Cleary University alum has a unique story, and we want to hear yours. With thousands of alumni shaping industries and communities worldwide, Cleary University is excited to launch “Cleary Connections, a project designed to collect and preserve the personal stories of our alumni in their own words. These memories will be compiled into a special edition book celebrating the impact Cleary has had on your life and career. Every year we wait is another chance missed to capture these stories, so we’re thrilled to start this important initiative today!
Stay Connected with Cleary
As part of the “Cleary Connections” project, we’re also making it easier for you to stay connected to your alma mater. Whether you’ve moved or changed contact information, this project is the perfect time to reconnect. Our partners at PCI will assist us in gathering updated contact details from those of you who may have inadvertently lost touch with Cleary University over the years.
Share Your Story
What Cleary memory will you share?
- Did a professor or staff member profoundly impact your journey?
- Did you meet your significant other while studying at Cleary?
- Can you link your career success to a defining moment on campus?
- Have connections made at Cleary turned into lifelong friendships?
- Were you a student during a historical event or significant milestone?
- Are you part of a Cleary legacy family?
Your personal story is a vital part of the Cleary community, and we want to honor those moments that shaped who you are today.
PCI Partnership
We know that gathering and sharing these stories on our own would be a tremendous undertaking. That’s why we’ve partnered with PCI, whose trained team of real, live people will collect and assemble these stories into the “Cleary Connections” book. Please rest assured, your contact information has only been shared with PCI for this project. We have not sold your data or used it for any external marketing purposes.
Do I Have to Buy Something?
No. This project is completely free to participate in. The project is supported by alumni who choose to purchase the Cleary Connections book that will be created at the end of the project. A variety of book packages will be available, and PCI will also offer Cleary University-branded merchandise. While you are welcome to make a purchase, you are not required to do so to participate in the project or share your story.
What’s Next?
You will soon receive email and postcard communications from PCI with instructions on how to participate. We invite you to share your Cleary story and be part of this exciting project to celebrate the experiences and voices of our alumni. PCI will collect stories throughout 2025, followed by a post-production phase, with the book expected to be released in summer 2026.
We can’t wait to hear from each of you and learn more about your Cleary experience.
