PAA updating alumni directory

The Parkway Alumni Association is working on a new alumni directory that will help former Parkway students connect with each other and the Parkway community.

The PAA has contracted with Publishing Concepts, Inc., to verify the accuracy of alumni data currently on file. The company began mailing postcards and sending emails to alumni on Parkway’s behalf on May 19, 2017. The communication requests alumni to call a telephone number to verify or update each graduate's profile.
