Dr. Catherine Shapiro

Greetings! My name is Catherine Shapiro and I’m the Senior Resident Dean at Harvard College. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, raised in College Station, Texas, but have lived in New England for the past 30+ years. I doubled majored in Political Science and Economics at Rice University, and got my PhD at Stanford in Political Science. I’ve been at Harvard for over 20 years, supporting undergraduates in the Yard and the Houses. I love to read mysteries, science fiction, and comedies of manners. I love music of all sorts. I’m a terrible athlete, but a great spectator.
