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:
“The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.”
—Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)
“Will mankind never learn that policy is not morality,that it never secures any moral right, but considers merely what is expedient? chooses the available candidate,who is invariably the devil,and what right have his constituents to be surprised, because the devil does not behave like an angel of light? What is wanted is men, not of policy, but of probity,who recognize a higher law than the Constitution, or the decision of the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isnt practical or because you cant afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
