We are the Yale Political Union: the oldest and largest student debating society in America. Each week, we invite a prominent national figure to deliver an address before the Yale community, and students have a chance - over tea, dinner, wine, late-night pizza or a formal debate - to engage and challenge those leaders, as well as each other.

Since 1934, the Union’s purpose has been the encouragement of spirited and substantive debate on the issues that matter most to the future of this country. What makes guests so special is the varying perspectives they bring with them. What makes the Union special is the way it brings students and guests together in multiple spaces that allow for any willing students to get involved. Guest dinners, guest debates, and mingling are all integral parts of the Yale Political Union Experience.
