One of our brand new chapter’s, BridgeKU, was recognized in local media for their mission to stimulate ideologically diverse conversations on campus. BridgeKU is committed to facilitating discussions as a means to span political divides and restore confidence in democracy. On BridgeKU’s website, the chapter lays out the importance of cross-cutting dialogue to democracy:
“Democracy is founded on the principle of discussion as a key pillar representation is only achieved when everyone’s morals, desires, and beliefs were heard. By remaining true to this principle, we hope to maximize the strengths that democracy provides to us.”
Aneka Zarger, BridgeKU’s VP of Finance and Operations, hopes that the chapter’s midwestern location will help enable it “to become a center of communications between the East and West Coast.” A theme of uniting disparate parts together was echoed by the chapter’s president, Jakob Moberly, who noted that it is his “dream and goal to connect students from different schools of thought together to understand how this country, and this world for that matter, can come together and make real progress.”
