Alumni Directory Project FAQ

The CSU Pueblo Office of Alumni Relations has partnered with PCI (also known as Publishing Concepts) to produce our new alumni directory. Based in Dallas, PCI publishes directories for educational institutions, fraternities, sororities and military organizations across the nation. This project allows the Alumni Association to receive important updates to our database so we know more about our alumni and how we can better serve you and future alumni.

All updates are returned to CSU Pueblo, so that our database remains current. PCI is only collecting information for purposes of the directory. It is a great way to stay connected to the CSU Pueblo alumni community!

Using the newly collected information, PCI will produce a hardcover publication that is available for purchase. The published directory will allow you to reconnect with old classmates. Electronic editions will also be available. Everyone will be offered the option of purchasing the CSU Pueblo Alumni Directory, but no one is under any obligation to purchase a copy in order to be included in the publication.

Please be assured that this directory project is coordinated with the CSU Pueblo Office of Alumni Relations. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at  (719) 549-2858 or alumni@csupueblo.edu

If you’d rather not reach out to PCI (we totally understand) you can always update your contact information right here on our website at this link or by clicking “Update Info” in the upper banner.
