The Kennedy Political Union
The Kennedy Political Union is American University’s non-partisan, student-run, student-funded speakers bureau. Our mission is to bring the finest speakers to discuss a wide range of issues and engage with our dynamic campus community. Over the years, we have hosted speeches by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Senator Bob Dole, and many other distinguished and influential people.
