The April 50 Under 30 Challenge Gets Its First Writer

Yesterday, PolicyMic launched it's first-ever special recruiting push for the month of April to bring in 50 of the smartest millennial thinkers under the age of 30.  Today, the April 50 Under 30 Challenge proudly introduces Katie McHugh, the first of our brilliant applicants to be accepted to our program. She won us over in her application post, "How to Foster Dialogue (For Real)." 

Katie, we tip our hat to you!
