Progressive. Non-partisan. Student-Run Think Tank.

Who we are

The Columbia Policy Institute is a progressive, nonpartisan, student-run think tank previously associated with the Roosevelt Institute’s National Campus Network. We release a yearly undergraduate public policy journal, hold weekly policy discussions, and host events with elected officials, policy professionals, and Columbia faculty. Additionally, our policy centers pursue policy-oriented projects, typically involving advocacy, activism, or research, that are designed to create meaningful change on campus and in the local community.
