Katie Rohrbaugh

Princeton University, Class of 2024

Katie Rohrbaugh is a freshman at Princeton, looking to concentrate in the History Department. She first became interested in history, policy, and politics through her World History class, while learning about governance in ancient civilizations. She was able to further her connect her interest into the modern political sphere through high school debate. Debate helped her realize the importance of having accessible knowledge, but also knowing how to analyze issues with a variety of lenses. Katie has come to believe that a knowledge of history is essential to understanding and dealing with modern issues. At Policy Punchline, she hopes to use historical perspectives to ground and enrich conversations. In her free time, Katie enjoys creative writing, watching the Great British Bake Off, and learning dead languages.
