FISHER COLLEGE

Office of Institutional Advancement

Archive Project

Launched at Reunion 2010, the Archive Project finds Digital Documentary students interviewing returning alumni and capturing their stories on film. Listen to what our alumni told us- about what Fisher was like when they attended, where they have gone, and why they came back to campus. Thank you to the alumns who shared their stories, and, as a result, influence the lives of Fisher students. Thank you to the students who have made the Archive Project a reunion tradition.
