Office Description:
The Roosevelt Institution is a non-profit, non-partisan national network of campus-based student think tanks.

The Roosevelt Institution connects the fruits of that research to the policy process, delivering sound, progressive proposals to policymakers and advocacy groups at all levels of government as it organizes, trains, and empowers the next generation of progressive leaders.
