The Roosevelt Institute Campus Network, formerly the Roosevelt Institution, is the first student-run policy organization in the United States. It is a part of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, an organization with offices in New York, NY, Washington, DC, and Hyde Park, NY, focused on carrying forward through new leaders and ideas the values and spirit that Franklin and Eleanor brought to the last century. Roosevelt currently has 8,500 active members and over 80 established chapters both in the United States and abroad.
Individual chapters on college campuses conduct research and write policy regarding various public issues. It is the first student-run policy research group or "think tank" in the United States.
Roosevelt was founded at Stanford University and Yale University following the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election. Its name is a counterpoint to the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford.

Famous quotes containing the words roosevelt, institute and/or network:
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
