Crosscut Festival 2020

The Crosscut Festival at Seattle University will be back on campus Saturday May 2 and we’d love to see there! Like years previous, the Crosscut Festival will feature dynamic and nationally renowned speakers. Engage with well-known headliners, respected journalists, and critical thinkers around five dynamic topics: business, politics, race and social justice, science and environment, and headliners.

As Seattle University alumni, you can email alumni@seattleu.edu and request 1-2 complimentary general admission tickets. You will be entered into a lottery for a limited number of tickets and will be notified by April 8 if you are selected. Don't want to wait? Purchase discounted alumni tickets. Come to the festival to reconnect with your fellow alums, engage in thought-provoking conversations, support local media and Seattle University.   

2019’s schedule provides some insight into what to expect for 2020. Even though planning for the Festival is far from complete, you will recognize many names booked so far: former US Senator Jeff Flake, PSB NewsHour anchor and managing editor Judy Woodruff, journalist and commentator Soledad O’Brien, Montana Governor Steve Bullock and many more to come.

Look for a full rollout of names later this month and if you’d like to get the news as it breaks, sign up for updates.
