Wheatley Institute helped to host David French, author and columnist for the New York Times, as a speaker at Brigham Young University's campus forum, where he addressed increased political division and hatred in the United States.
French ascribes this division to a result of increased social isolation and subsequent lack of shared friendship across political divides. He proposed BYU students "replace alienation and loneliness with connection and love."
