Brian Kateman Third Year | Macaulay Honors College Kateman sets the bar high


CSI junior Brian Kateman is studying biology and psychology with aspirations to be a professor of evolutionary biology and ecology. A Dean’s List student in the Macaulay Honors College, Kateman says he values the opportunity to learn alongside his fellow Macaulay colleagues.


“We get to explore both science and the humanities in small, seminar-like settings,” says the native of Staten Island. “It’s an ideal learning environment.”


A recipient of a Jeannette K. Watson Fellowship, Kateman has earned internships to guide his career development. Last summer he developed and executed a social media plan at Echoing Green, an organization that supports entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas for social change.


Kateman also has thrown himself into research. Working with Professor Shaibal Mitra, he has studied the migration patterns of Gray Catbirds. “Our hope is to determine the degree to which climate change might be affecting the birds’ northward expansion,” he says.

Away from the classroom, Kateman serves as a peer educator for the Health and Wellness Center, advising students on how to live a healthy lifestyle.
