The goal of the conference is to further students’ understanding and application of the principles of democracy in relation to civil discourse, an expression of views that’s intended to promote mutual understanding.
“Our students’ participation in the National Student Dialogue conference helped advance the McCourt School and GU Politics’ shared mission to promote productive dialogue and prepare students to work across differences,” said GU Politics Managing Director Julia Newton.
Among the students representing Georgetown was McCourt School student Ashna Singh (MPP‘23). Over the course of the weekend, Singh and her peers participated in a variety of unique sessions and workshops designed to educate them on civil discourse and how to best use those skills to make an impact on the Hilltop.
