Central State has partnered with PCI Concepts

As part of our efforts to stay connected with you, and help you reconnect with other Centralians, we have partnered with PCI Concepts to produce another CSU Alumni Directory.  Please respond to their emails or phone calls and answer a few simple questions.  For other questions please review Frequently Asked Questions below.

  • 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.

You can also communicate your preferences to PCI’s customer service helpdesk at 1-800-982-1590 / PCIservice@publishingconcepts.com or to the Alumni Association directly.
     

  • The Central State University Alumni Directory is available for sale only to Central State University alumni. You will be listed in the directory whether you decide to purchase a copy or not.   

  • The total duration of the directory project is about 12-14 months. Since we began the project in April 2026, the directories will be distributed from April through June 2027.

  • Contact PCI’s customer service helpdesk at 1-800-982-1590 / PCIservice@publishingconcepts.com, and they will take care of this for you.
