Third Weekend brings together RUX alumni, partners, network members, and their loved ones for a weekend of connection & exploration.

In 2024, we launched a new offering for cohort members and alumni called “Third Weekend.” Third Weekend is an alumni-led gathering hosted by “third years” that is intended to provide:

a launch point for cohort members’ alumni experience, kicking off their “3rd year” and giving them a first step in RUX leadership as the hosts of this event;
alumni a chance to gather, build collaborations, and support the new cohort;
the cohort an opportunity to gather after the Community Intensives in a relational atmosphere that is focused on welcoming them into the alumni network.

Who can attend?

Third Weekend is open to current cohort members, alumni, their loved ones, and membership program members. The weekend will include RUX curriculum and alumni-led experiences. This weekend will be optional and self-pay, though we will work with alumni and affiliates to sponsor scholarships and encourage folks to carpool and share rooms to minimize costs for members. Camping is also available on site. Proceeds from Third Weekend will raise money for the RUX microgrant program. Third Weekend will be hosted in the upcoming year’s host community.
