From the NextGen Civic Leaders Corps:
Are you ready to lead change on campus and beyond?
NextGen Civic Leader Corps, the Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center, and the Othello-UW Commons are excited to invite you to the Spring Quarter Cross-Campus Collaborative (CX3) Public Service Leadership Series—a new, quarterly initiative designed to bring together undergraduate students from across the University of Washington to identify the most pressing complex societal challenges facing UW students. We will provide frameworks and tools from multiple disciplines to support collaborative and creative problem solving.
What is CX3?
CX3 (Cross Campus Collaborative) is a low-stakes, high-impact space for undergraduate students to co-create solutions to real issues affecting our campus community. Each session includes:
- Facilitation & leadership training
- Cross-campus networking
- Tabletop Breakout sessions to design community-driven solutions
- Hands-on practice in hosting large-group dialogues
Spring Quarter Gathering
Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 4:00–7:00 PM | Parrington Hall, Room 320
Our final in-person session on May 5th, 2026 will offer the opportunity to deepen student engagement by taking the themes/core concerns raised at the Winter Gathering, and brainstorming how to translate the feedback from World Cafe into tangible actions to steward change by creating connections to Mary Gates Leadership Fellowships, Campus Sustainability Fund, ASUW, and other student-led bodies or commissions on campus that amplify student voice. In the second half of the session, we will engage participants in a visioning session to help co-design Cx3 Programming for the next Academic Year (AY 2026-27).
Want to go deeper?
Students who participate will have the opportunity to become trained facilitators, earn resume-boosting credentials, and lead future CX3 sessions and community projects.
RSVP now to let your voice be heard, and be part of something powerful.
