We are pleased to announce that Jamie Weiss has joined the Office of Student Achievement (OSA) as Academic Program Coordinator II. Jamie brings a strong background in higher education, communications, and project management. She will support key student success initiatives associated with OSA academic enrichment initiatives by coordinating engagement efforts, serving as a primary point of contact for ILARC (Interactive Learning and Resource Center) within OSA.
Jamie is completing her doctorate in history at the University of Georgia, where she designed and taught high-enrollment courses recognized with numerous university-level teaching awards. She also helped new graduate students thrive as First Year Experience Coordinator and contributed to faculty book projects alongside her own work and advanced training in pedagogy and adult learning. Her research analyzes the Early National United States through its relationship with Imperial Russia in the years leading up to and through the War of 1812, revealing how personal conduct, commercial ties, and diplomatic performance informed the country’s emerging geopolitical identity.
Before transitioning to higher education, Jamie worked across creative marketing, public engagement programs, and operational management, pairing strategy and rigor with people-centered execution and collaborative partnerships.
Originally from Atlanta, Jamie earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oglethorpe University as a non-traditional student, a perspective that continues to shape her approach to accessibility and academic support. Outside of work, she enjoys experimenting with her sourdough starter, eating her way through the city, spending time with her husband and two corgis (Felix and Filibuster), and indulging her love of prestige TV.
Please join us in welcoming Jamie to OSA and OUESS.
