| Roosevelt Institution Launches National Student Policy Journal OnlineWASHINGTON D.C., August 17 — The Roosevelt Institution, the nation’s first student think tank, has made the inaugural issue of the Roosevelt Review—its flagship national student policy journal— available for download on the web. Accessible at www.rooseveltinstitution.org/roosevelt_review, the journal contains eight of the best pieces of student policy research from across the country on topics ranging from AIDS prevention in South Africa to alternatives to drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. “The Roosevelt Review will marshal the intellectual capital of the smartest students in America and its future leaders,” said Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor-in-Chief of The Nation. “These are times when progressives need fresh and bold ideas. That’s why it’s exciting to witness the emergence of well organized, savvy progressive student movement.” A 4,000 copy print run is set for distribution this September, but the online edition offers easy and immediate access to the authors’ work. Once printed, Roosevelt Institution members will personally deliver the journal to legislators, government agencies, journalists, civil-society organizations, and others responsible for contributing to public policy at the state and federal levels. A launch event and press conference are scheduled for early October in Washington D.C. Added vanden Heuvel, “The Review will soon be must reading for local, state and national policymakers and legislators, for activists, for other think tanks and for all citizens dedicated to learning about progressive solutions to the pressing problems of our times.” The Roosevelt Institution, which is quickly expanding to over 120 colleges and universities around the country, picked the eight articles included in the Review from hundreds of submissions. Future issues of the semi-annual journal are expected to garner thousands, as students learn that their ideas can have a national audience. “I’m excited to get our proposal into the public discourse,” commented David Felix, one of the authors of the Review article, Extraction vs. Taxation: What to do with ANWR. “The more people who read it, the better a chance there is of actually solving this problem that faces our country.” The Roosevelt Institution is a think tank devoted to bringing the policy research of college students to the attention of academia, media, and government.
