BC Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond Accepts Position at UCLA

JM Caparro Named Interim Athletics Director
William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Martin Jarmond has accepted the position as director of athletics at UCLA, the school announced on May 19.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
