New alumni directory project is under way
You will receive a reminder e-mail within the next week written by Mary Berens, Cornell's director of alumni affairs, and issued by Publishing Concepts Inc. (PCI), the company producing the directory. A "snail mail" letter and survey will be sent later in March to those alumni who haven't yet updated their directory information. Even if you don't want to be listed in the directory, we hope you will take the time to review and update your information. PCI will provide all updated directory data to Cornell. This gives us the most current information to help us stay in touch with as many alumni as possible. If you have questions about the project, contact Cornell alumni affairs at alumnidirectory2006@cornell.edu or call (607) 255-2390.
