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)
“A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“It has to be acknowledged that in capitalist society, with its herds of hippies, originality has become a sort of fringe benefit, a mere convention, accepted obsolescence, the Beatnik model being turned in for the Hippie model, as though strangely obedient to capitalist laws of marketing.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
