In New York City
A national staff in New York City supports the work of the campus network. There are usually five or six individuals in the office. Currently, there is a national director (Taylor Jo Isenberg) who is largely in charge of the growth and development of the network. The field director (Winston Lofton) and deputy field director (Joelle Gamble) manage the regional staffers, part-time paid students. The policy director (Alan Smith) and deputy policy director (Lydia Bowers) are in charge of policy initiatives, and legislative work as well as managing a team of senior fellows, also full-time students that are paid for part-time work. The Chapter Services Coordinator (Dante Barry) runs the Summer Academy program. The national staff oversees publications, the development of the alumni network, and provides opportunities for membership to participate in writers' conferences and initiatives. During the summer, the Roosevelt Academy (the Campus Network's major internship program) runs for ten weeks and places students in DC organizations and at various organizations within the city of Chicago and New York City. The program features a variety of presentations from students who have published work in the 10 Ideas series and the Roosevelt Review, and is the launching ground for the Institution's policy agenda for the upcoming year.

“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
