The Wilkes University Alumni Association regularly prints an alumni directory, and the 2013 directory project is beginning! Over the next couple of months, Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) will be contacting alumni like you via mail, phone, and e-mail to request that you update your information. We understand that you might not want to provide your information to just anyone, so we want you to know that their request for your information is legitimate.
Below is information about the project and PCI. If you have any questions, feel free to call the Office of Alumni Relations at 570-408-7787 or write us at alumni@wilkes.edu.

2013 Alumni Directory Project
Why do I need to update my information?
Information changes quickly! Mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, children...things are always changing with our alumni and we want to keep in touch with you. Updating your information will ensure that Wilkes can keep you connected.
Why is Wilkes University using an outside contractor to complete this project?
A company focused on creating alumni directories is better suited to provide you with a useful Directory that is complete, accurate, and completed on time.
When will the 2013 Alumni Directory be complete?
The Directory will be completed and printed in May of 2013. Only the number of Directories that have been requested by alumni will be printed to be cost effective and environmentally friendly.
