Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most events on the Washburn Tech campus are canceled.
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!
National Technical Letter of Intent Signing Day was held virtually on April 15, 2021. Hundreds of area students participated in the event. National Technical Letter of Intent Signing Day began at Washburn Tech in 2014 and is now a national movement involving more than 90 colleges around the country. Students sign letters of intent, similar to an athletic signing, and commit to the technical program of their choice.
Twice a year, 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 also donate money, parts and supplies to get the vehicles back on the road. Students in all Washburn Tech programs are encouraged to participate. The next Rideaway is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Friday, May 7.
Washburn Tech will host its annual Car Show from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Friday, May 7. You may register entries in one of the following five categories; custom/low riders, antique cars and trucks, muscle cars, motorcycles and special interest. The event also will feature food trucks, a live band and a silent auction. All money raised goes to the Care Closet which provides short-term financial assistance to Washburn Tech students in need.
Washburn University Alumni Association hosts a graduate send-off during commencement week each semester to celebrate our graduates! Games, food and prizes are part of the festivities as we congratulate our students on a job well done! In addition, learn about the benefits that come with being a Washburn Tech alum including more than 100 discounts at Topeka and Shawnee County area businesses.
