Jessie's organization-wide email

Hello Roosevelt’ers--First things first- Thank you for your help last Thursday and Congratulations on a successful campus kick-off event. Four days later, I still get chills when thinking about that night, and I’m not just thinking about Alex in a suit or Tyler’s Bowtie.

Mingling with the jazz quartet was perfect- you are impressive schmoozers. And Ethan’s remarks about re-structuring the “pyramid” and Prof. Blum’s insights about the traditions and roots of progressivism gave purpose to our efforts. I’ve gotten so used to spewing talking points about RI that I sometimes forget we really are re-defining the world of public policy on our own terms, for our own time. Bravo and Congratulations. The DVD of the event will be ready soon. (Clearly this is occasion enough for a viewing soiree...) I’ll keep you posted.

If you missed the event, we missed you, too. But since RI is actually a policy think tank rather than a glorified events committee, everyone forgives you. You should pick a policy center go to the meetings starting
TONIGHT:
Social Justice - Monday, 9pm – Stewart First Floor Lounge (rgking, skirk)
Environment – Tuesday, 9pm – Stewart First Floor Lounge (dwdolgin, scollier)
Governmental Reform – Tuesday, 9pm – Hepburn First Floor Lounge (whackett, jwessler)
International Affairs – Wednesday, 9pm – The Grille. (tdunlop, dhopkins)
Education – Thursday, 9pm – Hepburn First Floor Lounge. (jkaminsky)

If you are doing research in any of these areas for your class and would like to submit your work to one of the policy centers, contact the center leaders (whose email address are included in parenthesis).

RI to throwing our shoulders back and going to work,
Jessie Singleton
President
