Jackets Vote, a program of the Link Center, is pleased to support this year’s Bridging the Divide Campus Leader at UW-Superior, Oreoluwa Sofolahan. 

Ore and Jackets Vote are inviting UWS students to attend student-led civil discourse events called “Bridging the Divide.” 

Bridging the Divide, a new program of the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership, seeks to reduce partisan division by fostering civil discourse among students and promoting civic virtue. The program brings students with different ideological and partisan political perspectives together for small-group conversations about current political issues and beliefs. Rather than reaching a consensus, the goal is to replace snark with civil dialogue and increase engagement and understanding between people with different opinions. 

We replace snark with conversation, tweets with real talk, and scrolls and likes with face-to-face dialogue.
