Things to know about Katherine
Katherine Mangu-Ward’s considerable talents came to ISI’s attention early on. While an undergraduate at Yale, Katherine was editor in chief of the Yale Free Press, an independent student publication sponsored by ISI’s Collegiate Network. She also became an ISI Honors Fellow. After graduating with a BA in political science and philosophy, she was awarded a yearlong ISI fellowship at the Weekly Standard.
