Roosevelt Today
Roosevelt's structure has gradually stabilized. In the early years, students took time off from school to staff the Roosevelt Institution. Today, there are six full-time recent graduates working in the New York City office, with support from the FERI employees.
There are now six national policy centers that are consistent year-to year: defense and diplomacy, economic development, education, equal justice, energy and environment, and health care. Each center has a lead strategist who is responsible for working with individual students on policy ideas, writing preemptive policy analyses on national legislation, and guiding the organization’s policy focused initiatives.
Students' work continues to be published in several collections including the 10 Ideas series, Roosevelt Rx, and Catalyst: Journal of Energy and Environmental Policy. And the acclaimed Roosevelt Summer Academy is entering its fourth successful year. With chapter membership booming, it's clear that students remain drawn to, and inspired by, the founders' original vision.
A host of young leaders have contributed to this mission, and they've expanded the organization from a few loosely affiliated schools to the nationwide constellation that The Roosevelt Institute Campus Network boasts today.
