My Vision
Quality, Integrity and Experience
- As the daughter of two university professors, I believe in the ability of higher education to improve the lives of all.
- As an alumna of U-M’s undergraduate and medical schools, I know the unique value of a Michigan education.
- During my term as Regent, I strived to ensure that U-M was a place where every student could find opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.

ALWAYS AT WORK

- I was committed to attaining excellence in academic programs, improving access and affordability, executing a three-campus strategy with focused investments in the Flint and Dearborn campuses, fostering an inclusive campus culture that protects our community from discrimination and sexual misconduct, investing in technologies to help our future, and supporting a healthcare system structured to comprehensively serve the needs of our state and region.
- I also was — and continue to be — a fierce advocate for collective bargaining to help secure fair pay and equal treatment for everyone from student workers to nurses to lecturers to staff.
Community Involvement
- Dr Diggs has always been involved in her community, serving as a precinct delegate, an active member of Forgotten Harvest, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Zoological Society, Belle Isle Conservancy and Michigan Opera Theatre.
- She is the chair of the Blue Cross Foundation, giving grants to community based non-profits to study and improve the health of all Michiganders.
