Tobin Van Ostern presently serves as the Network Associate for Campus Progress, a project of the Center for American Progress. He recently graduated from The George Washington University where he received a degree in International Affairs with a concentration in Conflict and Security and a minor in Political Science.

While enrolled, Tobin used his interest in technology and politics to help start Students for Barack Obama (SFBO) in 2006; serving as Deputy Director in an effort to use Facebook as the launching-point for a grassroots effort to convince Senator Obama to run for President. After accomplishing this initial goal, Tobin became the group's National Director in its capacity as the official student wing of the Obama for America campaign, growing it to 1000 chapters nationwide.
