10 IDEAS NATIONAL JOURNALS
The 10 Ideas Series is a publication of the Roosevelt Institute | Campus Network and is a premier journal for representing undergraduate public policy ideas. The 10 Ideas series promotes the most promising student-generated ideas from across the larger network. Each year students from 115 chapters submit to the national 10 Ideas journals, resulting in, after several rigorous rounds of edits, the top 60 ideas being published.
At GW Roosevelt Institute, we work with our members to brainstorm, research, write, edit, and publish these memos every Fall semester. In our first year of participation in 2014, five of our members were published. Jacob Burman and Jack Noland argued for a crowd-sourcing platform to fund government community projects, Zach Komes and Josh Serchen advocated for a federal university community investment ranking program to encourage development in low-income communities, and Kinjo Kiema described the need for a farm-to-school program in her hometown of Fairfax, Virginia. Regardless of whether they are selected to be published in the national 10 Ideas Journals, all of our members' research memos and articles are published in our own chapter journal, Omnibus.
We don't believe, however, that policy stops after publishing; but rather, take steps to advocate for implementation. We encourage our members to develop action plans to lobby for their work. In the future, we hope to work with our membership to adopt one of these ideas ideas as a chapter advocacy campaign.

FALL 2014 PROCESS
As you can see above, this year we have developed a more structured 10 Ideas process that includes a variety of workshops and peer review sessions to develop strong memos from our membership.
