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.

“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“New York is a meeting place for every race in the world, but the Chinese, Armenians, Russians, and Germans remain foreigners. So does everyone except the blacks. There is no doubt but that the blacks exercise great influence in North America, and, no matter what anyone says, they are the most delicate, spiritual element in that world.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Form’d for thee his own abode:
On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.”
—John Newton (1725–1807)
