Meet The Faculty Fellows
Faculty Fellows play an important role in creating an academic presence in the halls. This is achieved through their committed four hours a week in their assigned community by interacting with residents during their planned programs and office hours. Unlike Faculty in Residence, Faculty Fellows do not reside in on campus housing.
Kathleen Harris, Ph.D
Rains Hall
Director, National and International Scholarship Office
- J.D. Loyola Law School Los Angeles
- Ph.D UC Berkeley
Kathleen Harris is currently the Director of the National & International Scholarship Office at Loyola Marymount University. With a doctorate in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley, she is a medievalist by training, but her interest in Old French oral tradition translated remarkably well when she was part of the African Studies Institute at the University of Georgia, a group she joined while working on infusing the merit scholarship program she was directed with opportunities for travel, study, research, and creative activity beyond our borders. Dr. Harris is delighted that the innovative program she helped start in Tanzania is still flourishing 10 years later. She serves as a guide through the application process for many distinguished honors, and is proud that since her arrival in 2001, 16 LMU students have won US Student Fulbrights, and her two extraordinary Fulbright experiences covering four countries inspired her even more to open the door to new world regions for LMU’s prospective applicants. Dr. Harris also recently finished her Juris Doctorate (JD) at Loyola Los Angeles Law School where she had the chance to study human rights and environmental law in San Jose, Costa Rica and international arbitration and comparative tort law at the University of Bologna in Italy.
