Lorch was born and raised on campus, graduated from Barnard ''[[summa cum laude]]'' and stayed for her PhD in [[Classics]]. She later taught Latin and [[Lit Hum]]. Her long career in education includes stints at Vassar, the [[New School]], and the Lycée Français de New York; she was also the founding headmistress of La Scuola d’Italia New York. 

She helped found the Scholars Program in [[2000]] and was also head of the [[Fellowships Office]] until [[2005]]. During that period, she was often criticized for Columbia's [[2002]]-[[2007]] drought in prestigious fellowships. She was replaced in this capacity by [[Michael Pippenger]], who took over Fellowships and began turning Columbia's prospects around.

She also owns a llama and alpaca farm in the Catskills.
