Co-founded by three students in August 2005, the UNC chapter of the Roosevelt Institution has seven policy centers, as well as the Special Center on Emergency Preparedness and Relief. The centers focus on topics as diverse as education policy and urban development. The SCEPR will bring together students nationwide to develop policy proposals aimed at assisting those affected by Hurricane Katrina and putting forward public policy ideas that may help in future disaster response. Students will gather on the UNC campus to present their work and collaborate with experts in the field. The symposium, "Moving Forward After Hurricane Katrina: College Students' Ideas to Renew New Orleans and Improve U.S. Disaster Policy," is the first national policy symposium sponsored by the year-old Roosevelt Institution.
