Our Goal: Create productive and meaningful discourse.

When did avoiding political talk become an unspoken rule?  We believe there's a better way to approach those issues which matter most to us.  Seeking to combat the current political climate of contradictory information, ambiguous rhetoric, and bias, our goal is to provide students at Notre Dame with the opportunity to develop as leaders through respectful discussion and exposure to new perspectives.  We're here to change the future of political discourse.
At Bridge ND, our focus is on presenting reliable and unbiased information on national and international developments to encourage productive and respectful debates on various facets of each issue.  We are committed to providing a space for people to discuss their beliefs and interpretations in a safe and respectful environment.

What we do.
From weekly discussions to lectures on controversial topics, we provide a variety of opportunities for students to engage, connect, and become informed.
