Diane Abundabar, M.Ed.

Kamusta! I’m Diane Abundabar, OAE's Operations & Student Registration Manager. I hold a M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Institutional Research from Penn State University, as well as a B.A. in Communication Design from California State University, Chico. My passion lies in enhancing students' inclusion, belonging, and success during their time on campus.

Before joining OAE, I spent 15 years with Stanford’s Office for Religious & Spiritual Life (ORSL) at Memorial Church, where I served as the Director of Events and Rathbun Program Manager. In this role, I oversaw a variety of programming and significant campus events, including Baccalaureate. Prior to Stanford, I worked with Educational Talent Search at my alma mater, CSU, Chico—a federally funded TRiO program aimed at motivating first-generation and low-income students to pursue higher education.

I'm a Bay Area native from Vallejo. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my extended family, watching K-dramas, and attending concerts. I especially love cooking and eating Filipino food.
