WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY
Great partnership with PCI with benefits both for the association and alumni. AUBURN UNIVERSITY
The project went better than we thought it would and exceeded all expectations and goals. The PCI project staff was exceedingly responsive to any requests or issues. The PCI staff who conducted the phone interviews is well trained and and handled our alum audience extremely well. We couldn't be more happy with the results. Thank you for all you did to make the project a huge success, especially during this trying time of the pandemic. LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The responsiveness of our Account Manager regarding any questions, concerns or transactional issues was always timely, friendly and helpful. The process from start to finish was highly organized and supplied our office with rich resources for all steps of the year long process. BOSTON COLLEGE
By partnering with PCI, we quickly collected updated contact information and stories from our alums. Our small office would never have been able to achieve the same results. Our alums, in general, enjoyed the project and appreciated being contacted. CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
The process has been easy to manage and has produced good results. There is no way a staff of our size could have accomplished this much in such a short period of time. INDIANA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
The PCI team was customer centered; recognizing the need for delays, consultation, etc... I would definitely recommend PCI to other colleagues working in the Alumni profession. INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
