Finding Common Ground for the Common Good
University of Michigan’s Center for American Dialogue offers a bold idea: create a trusted space where society can gather to discuss difficult topics.

Designed for IMPACT
Increasing political divisions threaten quality of life, undermine public safety and limit our ability to grow as individuals and a country. The Center for American Dialogue is designed to produce thoughtful, consequential outcomes for the general public.
Our Approach
Bridging deep divides and strengthening our national fabric is an audacious goal. The Center for American Dialogue takes a wide approach to this responsibility. Through in-person events, thought-provoking programs and online games, the center offers diverse ways for people to convene with purpose.

Discussing our differences does more than improve society.
It betters ourselves professionally and personally.
The Center for American Dialogue was established to deliver consequences that matter. To empower students, faculty, staff and society to collaborate more effectively with people from different perspectives.
