Update your contact info
We have partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce our new alumni directory. PCI is a family-owned business based in Dallas, TX that has published directories for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities, and military organizations across the nation for over 100 years.
This project allows Central State University to receive important updates to our database so we can better serve our alumni.
Yes, in a few different ways:
Updated Information – allows us to effectively communicate with and engage alumni
Legacy – preserves the history of our school
Revenue – generates non-dues revenue for alumni programs
Pride – wearing apparel shows support and love for our school
PCI is committed to protecting your information. The names, addresses and information provided to PCI for the publication of the Directory will be held confidential by PCI, except to the extent that they are utilized in, or in the preparation of, the Directory and except as required by court order or law.
If you received a postcard or an email with a telephone number, you may call the number to speak with a real, live human being representing the Central State University project. They will verify the information we have on file for you and make any updates where needed.
If you received an email with an embedded link, simply click the link to go to the online site and review your information.
If you did not receive a postcard or email, you may call the dedicated Central State University update line at 855-912-4609.
If you are living internationally or are unable to call the update line, please email PCIservice@publishingconcepts.com. PCI will send you a personalized link to update your information.

12-14 months
. Since we began the project in April 2026, the directories will be distributed from
April through June 2027.
