Roosevelt @ University of Georgia

Roosevelt @ UGA is the University of Georgia’s chapter of the Roosevelt Network, and it has been a powerhouse of student-driven policy innovation. Named Roosevelt Network Chapter of the Year in 2014​:contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}​:contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}, Roosevelt UGA has a track record of turning ideas into action. The chapter holds weekly meetings where students discuss local and national issues, then work in teams to develop policy solutions. They frequently organize public policy forums on campus, inviting Athens community members and officials to join conversations on topics like city transit, college affordability, and criminal justice reform. Roosevelt UGA members have presented their proposals at the Georgia State Capitol and even in Washington, D.C., often after vetting them in campus town halls. This chapter’s blend of intellectual rigor and activism provides UGA students with a unique platform to effect change before they even graduate. Connect with Roosevelt @ UGA on Facebook.
