Roosevelt Institute

The Roosevelt Institute is a progressive student-run think tank that publishes the annual Roosevelt Institute Review and holds weekly public policy discussions. The Columbia Chapter is part of the nation-wide Roosevelt Institute Campus Network. The Institute is a space for deliberative and in-depth public policy discussion, and while it proudly identifies as progressive, it does not affiliate with any political party. The Executive Board has consisted of board members from both the CU Democrats and CUCR simultaneously, in addition to other campus political groups.

The Roosevelt Institute Review is entirely written, edited, and published by undergraduates.

Although Roosevelt National has become increasingly activist since its inception in 2005, the Columbia Chapter has stayed closer to the original founding purpose of providing in-depth, open public policy discussions. The Institute aims to fill an underserved niche of respectful political discourse and engagement.
