Mississippi College Preparing 2011 Alumni Print Directory


If you are a Mississippi College alumnus living in America or overseas, we want your latest information.

And once we get the data in hand by early next year, the MC Alumni Association wants to share it in a new MC Alumni Print Directory that is expected to be published in August 2011.

Much has changed since the last Mississippi College Alumni Directory was printed in 2003, says Alumni Association Director Ross Aven. People move, email addresses quickly change and so do phone numbers for the Christian university’s 30,000 alums.

The new directory is “a great way to help Mississippi College ensure that your information is 100 percent up to date,” Aven says.

 The new directory will be a permanent MC record and tell where alumni live no matter where the spot around the world. For alumni, the directory will provide a great way to stay connected to their MC friends, he added.

The MC Alumni Association maintains a small staff on the Clinton campus, so the Dallas-based company Publishing Concepts was hired to do the job that will take twelve months. The 85-year-old company in Texas was the nation’s first publisher of alumni directories. Over the years, the firm has partnered with such schools as Princeton, Harvard and Georgetown.

To get the ball rolling, alumni will be receiving e-mail requests and postcards that will feature the MC Alumni Association logo and an electronic signature. The only way the MC Alumni Association is receiving updates for the publication is through a toll-free phone number. Alumni will have until February 28, 2011 to submit any information changes.

MC alumni may call Publishing Concepts at 866.875.9350 to make a directory update.

PCI officials say the cost of a print or CD-ROM version of the directory will be $89.95 plus $9.95 for shipping and handling. You can also order the print directory together with the CD-ROM for $129.95 plus $15.95 for shipping and handling.

Alums can choose which information they want listed in the 2011 publication.

If you have questions about the email messages you will receive regarding the new directory, contact the MC Alumni Association at 601.925.3252, toll-free at 866.232.3945 or by email to Ross Aven at aven@mc.edu.
