BC Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond Accepts Position at UCLA
May 20, 2020 | Boston College Athletics
JM Caparro Named Interim Athletics Director
Â
William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond has accepted the position as director of athletics at UCLA, the school announced on May 19.Â
Â
Jarmond, who joined Boston College in June 2017 from Ohio State University, led the first strategic plan in Boston College athletics history, a comprehensive, five-year set of goals and aspirations that seeks to advance the program by fostering student-athlete formation, strengthening competitive excellence, increasing external engagement, and enhancing facilities.
Â
The strategic plan led to a $150 million capital campaign—also the first in program history–called Greater Heights, the Campaign for Boston College Athletics. The campaign has raised more than $110 million for BC Athletics to date.
Â
Among the coaching hires during Jarmond's tenure were football coach Jeff Hafley, women's basketball coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee, who was named ACC Coach of the Year this season, and volleyball coach Jason Kennedy, who guided the team to 20-win season in his second year.
Â
In a statement, Boston College wished Martin Jarmond and his family the very best in his new endeavor as AD of UCLA, and said that a search for a successor will begin immediately.
Â
JM Caparro, who currently serves as Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs, was named BC's Interim Athletics Director. He will start in his new role Tuesday, May 26.
