Student and Alumni Connections

The GW Law Office of Alumni Relations is committed to helping students and alumni connect. These connections have the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of our students while giving alumni the opportunity to give back and reconnect with GW Law today. Please review our student and alumni connections below:

Annual Events

Each year the Law Office of Alumni Relations offers various opportunities for students to meet alumni in-person at our events. These include to following annual events, in addition to events planned each year with student groups:

Fall Semester: Colonials Weekend Reception; Coffee with Experience: A Speed Networking Event; Regional Alumni Receptions

Spring Semester: Regional Admitted Student Receptions; Belva Lockwood Luncheon; Commencement

Please email [email protected] to register for an upcoming event, including your name, expected graduation year, and the event of interest in the email.

SBA and Student Groups

The Office of Alumni Relations works closely with the Student Bar Association (SBA) and all student organizations at GW Law to identify ways that students can benefit from connecting with alumni. For example, the Alumni Office partnered with SBA to support student organizations such as the Law Review and the Belva Lockwood Luncheon.

If you were involved as a student and would like to reconnect with that group as an alumnus, please email to [email protected] to explore possible opportunities.

Affinity Groups

Each of our alumni affinity groups work closely with their student counterparts to host panels, receptions, conference events, and more each year. Most of the alumni groups invite a student liaison to sit on their board meetings during the year. To learn more, contact the Alumni office (below).

We also invite students to attend major events with practice areas of interest. Students studying IP are invited to attend the annual GW Law Alumni reception at the AIPLA Convention in DC each Fall semester. Students studying Government Contracts are invited to attend the annual GW Law Luncheon at the Government Contracts Year in Review in DC each Spring semester.

Email [email protected] with your name and affinity group of interest.

Online Resources

Can’t attend an event in-person? No problem! Students may use online resources to connect with our alumni all over the world. 2L, 3L, and LLM students are invited to connect with alumni in our Alumni Community, including LinkedIn is a great resource. The GW Law Alumni Association group includes over 5,000 members, and you can also find GW Law groups for many regions and practice areas.
