Bridging Differences in Higher Education Playbook

Developed through the GGSC’s Bridging Differences program, the Playbook shares adaptable research-backed practices that help campus communities connect across lines of race, faith, ideology, geography, and more.

What’s Inside the Playbook

  • 16 science-based bridging practices, from Listening with Empathy to Finding Shared Identities, each grounded in science and real campus case studies
  • Step-by-step tools and reflection guides for applying these practices in classrooms, residence halls, leadership programs, and more
  • A framework connecting each practice to core character virtues—like patience, curiosity, and intellectual humility—and the habits that strengthen them over time

The Bridging Differences in Higher Education Playbook was made possible through the generous support of the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations and the Educating Character Initiative at Wake Forest University, with additional funding provided by Einhorn Collaborative.
