Bipartisan Group of American University

The Bipartisan Group of American University is a campus organization born out of students’ desire for cross-aisle conversation. Established in 2022 at AU in Washington, D.C., this independent club brings together students from all political affiliations to talk about issues without the hostility often seen online. The group hosts casual meet-ups and structured dialogue events where a mix of liberal, moderate, and conservative students discuss topics like free speech or foreign policy over pizza. They focus on building friendships across ideological lines and have even partnered with the Bipartisan Policy Center for a campus event on free expression​:contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}. What sets this group apart is its emphasis on student-to-student interaction – no debates on stage, just peers listening and learning from each other. By fostering mutual respect and understanding, the Bipartisan Group at AU is showing that civil discourse can thrive even on a politically active campus.
