Dear Roosevelters:
Hello all! I am Stephanie Somerman and I am Hilary Doe, and we are the Co-Presidents of the University of Michigan Chapter of the Roosevelt Institution. After only three short semesters, the UofM RI has become on of the best chapters in the country and on campus, we are one of the most active student organizations. Our Winter 2007 project, Roosevelt Relief: Hurricane Katrina was a huge smash success and Roosevelt is now a household name in Ann Arbor.
Roosevelt is back in for our second full year at Michigan and after a outstanding winter semester, the entire organization should be proud of what we have accomplished. Nationwide, Roosevelt Institution members have hailed the amazing work UofM has done and are waiting on the edge of their seats to see what our next big move will be.
To learn more about the Roosevelt Institution, please check out our website and feel free to contact any of our membership to get a better idea of what we are all about. Join the new student activism and get your ideas heard. Have you been TANK'D?
For our mission statement and more information about the structure of U of M Roosevelt Institution, please see our Official Constitution.
