From coast to coast, new directory will help alumni reconnect

Pikeville College alumni are scattered across the country, and even around the world. But no matter where their lives have led them, PC alumni all share a common bond – the place they started out.

That is why Pikeville College is working on a new publication designed to help bring alumni back together. This new directory will include comprehensive biographical listings with contact information, career overviews, and family highlights for more than 11,500 graduates. Plus, a special section about Pikeville College will reflect on the past as well as what is in store for the future.

“It is important for us to stay in touch with our alumni and provide this directory so old classmates can reconnect,” said Terry Spears, vice president for Advancement at the College. “We are very excited that the directory, for the first time ever, will allow for the submission of photos.”

The directory will be available sometime this summer, in book format or on CD. Alumni also had an opportunity to select the book cover, with 75 percent voting overwhelmingly in favor of a nostalgic view of “The 99.”

Harris Connect, publisher of the book, began contacting alumni in an effort to verify that the information is accurate and complete. Harris Connect has more than 40 years’ experience researching and publishing alumni and membership directories.
