Alumni Directory Project & FAQs
Dear Alumni:
In recent years we have worked hard to "gather the tribes" of the various generations of our alumni (including those from the Antioch School of Law) so that we can act effectively as a community, sharing information, and supporting one another in a variety of ways.
Even as we spread across the country and beyond, we have gotten stronger. Through our new online community, through more and better-organized reunions and social activities, and through more effective alumni service, we can continue to grown in our connectivity - which will prove especially crucial to many in these difficult economic times.
To further speed this process of community building, we need to improve our information on alumni whereabouts, our work, etc.
As a result, we have contracted with PCI, a highly reputable alumni directory company, to improve our alumni data and to make available to you a bound and/or CD Directory. This is a great "deal" for the School of Law, as there is no charge to us. PCI earns its living by producing an outstanding product and selling it to alumni. I want to let you know that PCI is, indeed, a "legitimate" company and to urge you to take the time to fully cooperate them when they write, or call, or e-mail. (Importantly, YOU DECIDE which information goes into the Directory and which will only be available to the School of Law!)
Please fully cooperate with PCI, to take the time to provide them with the information they request.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation with PCI!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Q: I received a phone call from a company asking for my personal information. They said they were working on a directory for UDC David A. Clarke School of Law. Is this a legitimate project, or is it a scam? A: The company we are working with to produce our new alumni directory is PCI: the data company (also known as Publishing Concepts.) PCI is a company that creates and publishes alumni directories for educational institutions. They are located in Dallas, TX, and their customer service number is 1-800-982-1590.
2. Q: I want to verify my information is correct. How can I do this? A: There are a few ways to accomplish this. If you have received an email or postcard with a telephone number, you may call to speak with a representative who will walk you through the verification process. If you have received an email with a personalized URL, you may go to the online site to check your information. If you have questions, you may call PCI’s customer service desk at 1-800-982-1590.
3. Q: How much does the directory cost? A: A print or CD-ROM version of the directory is available for $89.95 plus $9.95 shipping and handling. You can also order the print directory together with the CD-ROM for $129.95 plus $15.95. (This package comes with a two-for-one companion airline voucher. It is essentially two roundtrip airline tickets for one low price. You must purchase one ticket to use the voucher for a complimentary companion ticket.)
4. Q: I ordered a directory/package over the phone and would like to cancel my order. How do I do this? A: Call the PCI customer service help desk at 1-800-982-1590, and they will take care of this for you.
5. Q: When will I receive my directory? A: The total duration of the directory project is about 12 months. Since we began the project in May 2009, the directories will be distributed in May 2010.
6. Q: I ordered a package containing the Companion Airline Voucher, but I haven’t received the email with my voucher number. A: Vouchers are distributed within 4-6 weeks of receipt of payment. If this time has elapsed and you have not received your voucher, please call the PCI customer service desk at 1-800-982-1590 to request your voucher to be sent.
7. Q: Someone at PCI called me a few months ago about the alumni directory. I didn’t place an order at the time, but I would like to now. Can I still do that? A: If the directory has not yet been printed, you can still reserve a copy at the regular price. If the directory has already been printed, you can purchase a directory for $106.90 (while supplies last.)
8. Q: Can I choose for some or all of my information to not be printed in the directory? A: Absolutely. You may tell the caller what information you would prefer to have excluded when you call to update/verify your information. You may also communicate this information to the PCI customer service desk or your Alumni Director.
9. Q: Can anyone purchase a directory? A: The Antioch School of Law/DC Law/UDC Law Alumni Directory is available for sale only to Antioch School of Law/DC Law/UDC Law alumni.
