INTRODUCING AMY JARICH: Amy was formerly the Assistant Vice Chancellor
and Director of Undergraduate Admission at UC Berkeley before leaving
in July 2018 to pursue other opportunities.
She has served in admissions leadership for over a decade, moving to
Berkeley from the University of Virginia in 2012. Admissions is
Amy’s second career. She started her professional life in public
service, working in Washington DC for government and non-profits.
Amy holds a graduate degree from Georgetown’s School of Foreign

studying abroad and the positive impact of welcoming international
students to college campuses in the US.

Directors (2014-2017), the Overseas Schools Project in partnership
