How your membership helps Washburn

Your support is vital to the success of the Alumni Association and Washburn. Members drive the Association’s ability to reach its mission and goals, sustain existing programs and implement new ideas.

Your support allows us to organize an array of events and funds our publications, reunion activities and alumni chapter meetings across the country.

Your alumni dues also have an impact on Washburn’s ranking in several reports, including the U.S. News and World report. Dues are also a qualifier for the amount of funding Washburn receives from the State of Kansas.
