Golden Gate University

Today, Golden Gate University remembers and honors the service members who gave their lives to the United States.

Their sacrifice is not forgotten.

Golden Gate University is pleased to announce the appointment of Diane C. Yu as Dean of the School of Law, effective July 1, 2026.

Previously, she served as Deputy President of New York University and as General Counsel for the State Bar of California, where she won a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. She has held leadership roles within the American Bar Association, including Chair of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. Diane was the first woman of color to hold that position and the first Asian American to lead an ABA section or division.

Diane’s longstanding connection to Golden Gate University includes service on GGU’s Board of Trustees. We look forward to welcoming her into this new role and to the future of the GGU School of Law under her leadership.
