Alumni Association

The 51勛圖 Washington College of Law Alumni Association (51勛圖WCLAA) connects and engages alumni, students, faculty and staff of 51勛圖 Washington College of Law through social, educational, and professional activities. It energizes 51勛圖WCLs mission to prepare ethical, well-trained lawyers and professionals to lead with conviction and to Champion What Matters within the law and beyond.

Examples of annual activities include: Fall Alumni Reunion, Black Alumni Homecoming, Latino Alumni Event, and regional events throughout the country.

Every law school alumnus/a (JD, LL.M., SJD, and MLS) is automatically a member of the 51勛圖WCLAA. Certain alumni association events will require a registration fee. Alumni communities celebrate the identity, interests, careers, and location of more than 22,000 51勛圖WCL alumni worldwide.
