Think Impact Policy Model
Think Impact encourages student to create policy with impact in mind. Think Impact brings ideas born at The Roosevelt Institute Campus Network to practical fruition in communities and society by providing a framework and grants to advance ideas. One recent Think Impact project provided Wesleyan University students the opportunity to pursue the development of a magnet high school in the town of Middletown, Connecticut. Think Impact does two things: it re-articulates the goals of Roosevelt, to create change in our communities and society, and gives students a concrete and progressive framework to do so.

Famous quotes containing the words impact, policy and/or model:
“Too many existing classrooms for young children have this overriding goal: To get the children ready for first grade. This goal is unworthy. It is hurtful. This goal has had the most distorting impact on five-year-olds. It causes kindergartens to be merely the handmaidens of first grade.... Kindergarten teachers cannot look at their own children and plan for their present needs as five-year-olds.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
