Cross-Campus Collaborative (Cx3) Spring Quarter Gathering
Cross Campus Collaborative (Cx3) Series Spring Event
Tuesday, May 5, 2026 @4:00-7:00pm, Location TBD
Cx3 Information

Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center, and the Center for Education Leadership & Engagement. CX3 is designed to equip University of Washington students with the facilitation skills and collaborative mindsets needed to tackle complex societal challenges. Each quarter, we will host a 3-hour session for 50–60 University of Washington students from different academic practices to co-create innovative solutions, build networks, and practice the art of hosting large-scale dialogues.

We hope you'll spend part of your day giving back and connecting with fellow Evans folks at FamilyWorks in Wallingford! We’ll be supporting their food bank by sorting donations from a recent food drive—helping ensure items are ready for distribution to the community. We'll also have the chance for a site tour.
There are about 8 spots available for a morning shift (9:30am - 12:00pm), and 8 spots available for an afternoon shift (12:45pm - 3:15pm).
