Did you graduate within the last year? If so, please fill out the Graduate Employment Survey in Symplicity by logging in and clicking on My Account -> Graduate Employment Survey. The survey collects data that are extremely important for the Law School's accreditation by the American Bar Association.
Update your address
UW-Madison's all-alumni directory is now online. You can update your information online and find a classmate while you're there, or send an email directly to Margaret Miller, UW Law Alumni Relations Officer, with your new information. Help UW Law School stay in touch with you!
Alumni Network Connect
UW Law Alumni Network Connect is a password-protected database that allows our students and recent graduates to search for alumni using various criteria, including location, setting, practice area and employer. The network then allows them to contact those alumni who fit their criteria. We hope you will share your information in this database and invite contact from UW Law students or alumni who would welcome your guidance, counsel and wisdom.
If you are a recent grad and would like to access Alumni Network Connect, please email career@law.wisc.edu.
General career resources for alumni
