The Stories Project: Your Story is Apart of History

Dr. Deitemeyer standing behind recent graduateCentral Piedmont encourages you to document your personal experiences and contribute them to the official college record during the year 2020. The purpose of The Stories Project is to gather stories that show how we came together as one college to adapt to, and overcame, the many situations we face. This project is part of Central Piedmont Archives initiatives to curate a more diverse historical record for future generations.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Send us stories about your experience as a Central Piedmont student, faculty, or staff member. Some examples of story ideas include:

  • your experience learning, teaching, and working from home during the Coronavirus pandemic.
  • your experience on the front lines in 2020
  • how you are adjusting or adapting to the changes
  • challenges you may be facing, struggling with, or have overcome
  • any hobbies or skills you have learned

How you capture these stories is entirely up to you. Some suggestions include:

  • artwork
  • audio and/or video recordings
  • blog posts
  • journal entries
  • photographs
  • social media

Use this Google form to submit your materials. You will be able to sign an agreement allowing Central Piedmont Archives to preserve your submission, and you will receive important information about the copyright and use of your content.

You can submit your stories at any time, even after the year has passed. Each year will serve as a chapter in the stories project. We can only accept digital materials at this time.

We can’t wait to hear your story! Check out some stories from earlier this year.
