CROSS UNIVERSITY STUDENT INNOVATORS MIXER
The Cross University Student Innovation Mixer (CUSI) connects and elevate the next generation of changemakers, builders, and future founders across Greater Boston.
​
Whether you’re sketching out your first startup idea, leading a student org, building a side project, or just starting to explore entrepreneurship, CUSI is your place to plug in. This series is all about creating real connections, swapping ideas, and learning alongside other students who are curious, ambitious, and building toward something.
​
CUSI brings together undergraduate and graduate students from colleges and universities across the region for in-person mixers designed to break down campus bubbles and spark collaboration. Instead of staying siloed by school, major, or program, we bring everyone into the same room.
​
Hosted at campuses like MIT, Boston University, Tufts, Harvard and beyond, each event creates an open, welcoming space to meet fellow student innovators, find co-founders and collaborators, share what you’re working on, and learn how students across Greater Boston are navigating startups, innovation, and impact.
​
No panels. No pressure. Just high-energy conversations, new connections, and the start of something bigger.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Every Student Innovation Mixer is intentionally designed to be:
​
-
Open & Inclusive - students from across Greater Boston’s campuses. One room. Lots of ideas. Zero campus silos.
-
Conversation-First (with a Little Structure) - sometimes we’ll bring in a short panel or educational moment to spark ideas - but this isn’t a sit-and-listen event, the real magic happens in the conversations, story-sharing, and idea swapping that follow
-
Community > Competition - whether you’re brainstorming your first idea or already building something real, this space is about finding your people
