Alumni Directory Project

Enhancing the alumi network is a priority for Mississippi State University. As an important step in strengthening our connection to members, Mississippi State University has partnered with Publishing Concepts (PCI) and will be undertaking a data verification project and creation of a new alumni directory.

This directory will assist alumni in engaging with one another and the school. PCI will be verifying the accuracy of current alumni data on file and will begin mailing postcards and send emails in mid 2025. The communication requests alumni to call a telephone number to verify or update their alumni profile on their own. When alumni call, they will be offered an opportunity to purchase a printed or digital directory as well as exclusive Mississippi State University merchandise.

Alumni are under no obligation to purchase anything. Regardless of whether alumni purchase the directory, Mississippi State University thanks you for updating your information. For more information and Frequently Asked Questions about this project, please see below.

Yes, this project is legit! Mississippi State University has 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.
