I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.

I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

Excited to share that I will be promoted to full professor with distinguished promotion! It feels surreal as I still struggle to differentiate from grad students. A new journey of discovery, innovation and team science has just begun, only now with full degrees of freedom!

Professor Diao has received a Campus Distinguished Promotion award by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost. She will become a full professor in August, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.
