Bridge at Mason aims to foster a different type of civic dialogue on campus. The current atmosphere of political conversation is divisive, toxic, and discourages the virtuous discourse and empathetic intellectualism that democracy requires to flourish. We seek to encourage multi-partisanship, effective and civil communication, and meaningful conversation about our country’s greatest political issues. we strive to create in our members morally responsible political leaders who are able to engage in politics critically, wisely, and skillfully in order to pursue the common good.
