Buckley Institute
The Buckley Institute focuses on fostering intellectual diversity at Yale. Launched as the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program by undergraduates in 2011 under the guidance of Professor Donald Kagan, the Buckley Institute attracts students across the political spectrum, bolstering free speech at Yale and beyond. Our flagship effort remains our student organization, the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program, now with over 550 student fellows.
The Buckley Institute offers: a dynamic speaker series, funded summer internships for undergraduate students, debates, daylong workshops and seminars, a spring semester trip to Washington, D.C., and an annual Disinvitation Dinner in New York City, among a wide variety of other programming.
Some of our guests to campus have included Dr. Henry Kissinger, U.S. Senators, and professors from many of our peer institutions. We have sent students on subsidized trips to conferences in Washington D.C. and publish an annual essay contest.
