Vox Populi
Every alumnus has a story, and the Boston Latin School Association wants to hear yours. However, with over 22,000 living alumni, it would take many years to meet with each of you individually. That’s why we’ve decided to embark on a new project called Vox Populi to collect the stories of alumni like you in your own words. These stories will be preserved in a book that celebrates the impact Boston Latin School has had on your lives. Every year we don’t capture and preserve these stories feels like another opportunity lost, so we’re excited to get started today!
PCI Partnership
By partnering with PCI, we’re able to access their staff who are excited to listen to what you want to share. PCI will also help collect and assemble the stories into the Vox Populi book that we can share with you. Please note, we have only shared your contact information with PCI in conjunction with this project. We have NOT sold your contact information nor otherwise used it for outside marketing purposes.
Have You Moved?
As part of this project, we are also taking this opportunity to help make it easier for you to stay connected to Latin School. PCI will help us collect updated contact information from those of you who may have moved and inadvertently lost touch with alma mater.
Your Story
What Latin School memory will you share?
• Did a special faculty have a profound impact on your life?
• Can you trace your career path back to a defining moment at alma mater?
• What connections did you make that turned into lifelong friendships?
• Were you a student during a historical moment?
Do I Have to Buy Something?
No. This project is being done at NO COST to the BLSA. The project is completely funded by the alumni who choose to purchase the Vox Populi book that will be produced at the end of the project. Various book packages will be offered. PCI will also offer you the option to purchase other BLS branded merchandise such as a t-shirt and travel bag, as well as make a donation to support Latin School students. You are welcome to purchase these items, but you are not required to do so to participate in the project or order the Vox Populi book. Again, we’d never be able to embark on a project like this without the support of our alumni and the partnership with PCI. We sincerely thank every person that participates and chooses to purchase the book.
What’s Next?
Alumni will receive emails and postcards from the PCI team with instructions on how to participate. We’d like to invite you to share one of your stories with us and take part in this first-of-its-kind project to honor the experiences and voices of our alumni. The PCI team will collect stories in upcoming months. After that, they will enter a post-production phase compiling the submissions. We hope to have the book distributed in late spring 2024.
We look forward to hearing from each and every one of you regarding your memories.
What to Look For
Below is an example of a postcard you will receive in the mail. This is an official postcard from the BLSA, distributed by our partner PCI. Once you receive the postcard, please follow the instructions to update your information and set up an interview time to share your Latin School memories.
