N.C. A&T Alumni Directory Project
Over the next six months, North Carolina A&T alumni will be contacted by postcard, email and phone by Publishing Concepts (PCI) to create the new alumni directory. The Office of Alumni Relations is working with PCI to update the information of 70,000 plus Aggies.
The directory will make it easier to connect with your fellow alumni and provide updated contact information for the Office of Alumni Relations. PCI will verify the information we currently have on file. You will receive postcards, email and telephone calls asking you to call and verify your data. The telephone number that is given to you is only for you. When you call to verify your information, you will be given the opportunity to purchase a printed or digital directory and A&T merchandise. You are under no obligation to purchase anything and our primary goal is to verify our records so that you will continue to receive alumni communications.
If you have any questions, you may contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 336-433-5570 or alumni@ncat.edu.
