Issue date: 4/24/08 Section: Forum

The Roosevelt Institution at NU will be hosting its first event - a workshop on U.S. health policy reform - on May 24. At this workshop, you will first hear from leading policy experts and policymakers about the issues affecting campus, state, and national level health systems, and then will be given the chance to create your own ideas for reform and present them to the community. All of the participants in the workshop will then have the opportunity to submit their ideas at a later date to a special national publication on health policy reform. This journal will then be distributed to hundreds of policymakers in state and federal legislatures.

If you are interested in participating in this workshop or joining the Roosevelt Institution, email us at roosevelt.northwestern@gmail.com. Now is the time for our talented and diverse student body to contribute to the national dialogue and take a stand at this critical moment in our nation's history. We are ready to help you pursue your own bold and imaginative solutions.

Campus construction and prospective students

A recent editorial ("Untidy grounds" April 21) commented on the construction on campus and the impression it makes on prospective students. I made the same assumption but asked a friend who brought his son to campus to visit and tour. He responded, "Peter actually commented on the Northwestern construction. His take on the construction was that we have seen this at a number of schools that we've visited and he thinks it is done intentionally to show the school is dedicated to growth, better facilities, showing it has money... I also personally view construction as a positive."
