Our Mission

Created by students at Wesleyan University, The Abbey aims to enable relevant, critical discussion among collegiate and professional peers alike.

At a school that boasts of its lively intellectual atmosphere, the creators of The Abbey found that topical discussions at Wesleyan are often neglected because of what some believe to be an assumed political or social consensus among the student body.

We don’t believe that this absence of discussion is a result of waning intellectual curiosity, rather we found there to be a profound lack of accessible mediums for these conversations.

We’ve built The Abbey to enable students to share news in academic, club, pre-professional, and personal settings without the distractions of traditional social apps.

We hope The Abbey will foster topical conversations among students and young professionals by making news accessible and relevant.
