Diane Scarritt M.S.W. ’73 grew up in Indiana, studied at Brown University as an undergraduate and Berkeley as a graduate student, and was a social worker for decades. But dig past the bullet points and you will find a woman driven by uncompromising compassion and selfless generosity.
Diane says the excellent education she received from day one is her life’s greatest blessing. She chose Berkeley’s School of Social Welfare because of its top national rankings and specializations that reflected her career aspirations. She received full funding and exposure to inspiring professors, a well-rounded curriculum that included family law, policy, and research, and clinical practices that were sensitive to the unique needs of underserved populations. Since then, she has dedicated her life to serving children and families in San Francisco and the East Bay.
