Ripple Effects: Moving From Research To Action

Urban@UW

Thursday, May 22, 2025 at the University of Washington in Seattle

Ripple Effects: Moving with Our Communities From Research to Action is a Research to Action Collaboratory symposium put on as part of the Bullitt-funded RAC pilot program. Running from 2023 to 2025, UW’s College of Built Environments hosts the RAC Program and its overarching initiative, Urban@UW.

This symposium creates the space for dialogue and learning among RAC projects, teams, and invited guests. Together we will reflect on what the RAC community-university teams have accomplished to date, what they’ve learned, what impact the RAC has had on their work and partnership building, and what comes next.  

The Symposium will be held in the Hans Rosling Center, Room 101 (10:00AM-5:00PM)

A Reception will follow in the Gould Gallery (5:00-6:30PM)
