The Washburn Tech experience is more than just classrooms and labs. We host various events throughout the academic year that are not only fun, but allow you to connect to instructors, other students and our local community. Mark your calendar with these special events that are now tradition for the Washburn Tech family.
Students have the opportunity to meet potential employers while practicing their interviewing skills at our Career Fair. This annual event features dozens of area companies in all fields, from healthcare and food service to manufacturing and construction. This event provides a great way to jump from college to career.
More information coming soon.
National Technical Letter of Intent Signing Day, set for April 17, 2025, draws hundreds of incoming students to campus for a special day. This event began at Washburn Tech in 2014 and is now a national movement involving approximately 75 colleges around the country. Students sign letters of intent, similar to an athletic signing, and commit to the technical program of their choice.
Washburn Tech's Recycled Rides program hands over the keys to a brighter future. Students team up with instructors and community mentors to refurbish vehicles which are then presented to local families or organizations in need. Local companies donate money, parts and supplies to get the vehicles back on the road again. Students in all Washburn Tech programs are encouraged to participate. Please join us on May 6, 2025 for the next Recycled Rides giveaway at 9:30 a.m. in Building K, our Automotive Collision & Refinishing Technology lab.
Join us for one of the most fun days of the year at Washburn Tech, the annual Car Show, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m, Friday, May 2, 2025.
Washburn Tech offers a summer camp where students may pick programs to explore and learn about. Upon applying, students will pick their top 5 programs, and we will do our best to ensure they get into as many of those as possible. Camps will be held in June on Washburn Tech's campus at 5724 SW Huntoon St. in Topeka.
