Dear ,

 

How will you spend the extra day in February this Leap Year? I have one suggestion for you to consider and it will only take a few minutes of your time: update your contact information on the Washburn Law alumni Web page

 

Share your news with us, update your personal information or, if you are a recent graduate, consider taking the employment survey, which helps us to accurately report employment statistics of our graduates. Rest assured, we do not share your information with third parties (read our website privacy policy). Our goal is to help facilitate communication between alumni and to keep you informed of Washburn Law happenings, CLEs, and other events that may benefit your professional career. 

   

Best regards,
