Alumni Directory FAQs
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 the Wofford Alumni Office can keep you connected. The Directory also provides a useful networking tool.
How do I know my information will only
be used for directory purposes?
Wofford
College has a contractual agreement with PCI that states:
a. The names, addresses and information provided to PCI by Wofford College 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.
b. The
Directory will be made available only to alumni of Wofford College listed in
the Directory. Upon completion of the project, PCI will return to Wofford
College any and all electronic files that have been supplied by Wofford College
or produced by PCI in connection with the production of the Directory.
I would like to verify and update my
information. How may I do this?
If you have
received a postcard or an email with a telephone number, you may call the
number to speak with a dedicated representative for the Wofford College
project. The representative will verify all the information we have on file for
you and make any updates where needed. One of the numbers for the Wofford
College alumni is 1.866.579.1550.
If you have
received an email with an embedded link, you may go to the online site to review
your information. If you have questions,
you may call PCI’s customer service desk at 1.800.395.4724.
Can I choose some or all of my
information not to be printed in the directory?
When you call
to update your information, you can tell the representative what information you
would prefer to have excluded. You may also communicate this information to the
PCI customer service desk (1.800.395.4724) or to the Alumni Office.

Why is Wofford using an outside contractor to complete this project?
With a small Alumni Office, Wofford partners with a professional company to ensure that the Directory is complete, accurate, and delivered on time.
When will the 2012-2013 Alumni Directory be complete?
The Directory will be completed and printed early in 2013. Only the number of Directories that have been requested by alumni will be printed to be cost effective and environmentally friendly.

Yes. As a standard, the following information will be printed in the Directory:

If you wish not to have certain information printed in the Directory, you may choose to have specific details omitted.
Why can I only update my information by calling a telephone number and speaking with a call center staff member?
Currently, this is the preferred method for PCI. The call center typically experiences a high volume of calls at the beginning of the project. If you are unable to reach a staff member on the first call, please call back at a later time.
I ordered a package containing the
Companion Airline Voucher, but I haven’t received the post card requesting
verification of my address.
For those who
purchase a package containing the Companion Airline Voucher, they will receive
a postcard within 2 -3 weeks and will direct them to go to the PCI website to
initiate the voucher process by entering their ID # and order # (shown on the

call a toll free number (also shown on the postcard) and leave a voicemail to
initiate the voucher process.
After
verifying your address you will receive a tri-fold voucher so you can begin to
make your travel arrangements.

voucher issuing travel agency and get a second companion ticket on that
flight for free
