Four non-tenure-track faculty join Quinlan
Quinlan’s new non-tenure-track faculty teach in accounting, economics, finance, management, and supply chain management.
Five non-tenure-track faculty joined the Quinlan School of Business in fall 2025. They bring deep expertise and decades of industry knowledge in accounting, economics, finance, management, and supply chain management. Learn about the new non-tenure-track faculty below.
Diana Dram, Supply Chain Management
After an almost three-decade career in supply chain management, Lecturer Dram comes to Quinlan inspired by the University’s mission and her past experience working with Quinlan students while she served as director of global supply chain resiliency and sales and operations planning for McDonald’s Corporation.
“For me, the most exciting part of teaching is watching students grow into this habit of critical thinking — seeing the light bulbs go on as they not only learn business tools but also learn to question and connect them to a greater meaning,” said Dram.
She focuses on engaging students in the field and providing opportunities to connect theory to practice.
Kwabena Krah, Economics
Instructor Krah joins Quinlan after spending three years with Loyola’s Institute for Racial Justice as a postdoctoral fellow. He chose Quinlan for its commitment to academic rigor, interdisciplinary collaboration, and focus on connecting research and teaching to real-world challenges.
“The school’s supportive and intellectually vibrant environment empowers faculty and students to apply economic and business principles to drive meaningful societal impact,” said Krah.
His research is in applied microeconomics and social norms, land markets, technology adaptation, poverty, inequality, and food security in developing countries. He is motivated by translating rigorous academic insights into practical policy solutions that improve lives.
Brian Moran, Management
Instructor Moran comes to Quinlan with experience in advocacy, media, strategy, and hospitality, including owning and operating a high-volume business known for operational rigor and strong community ties. A graduate of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Illinois, he is a strong believer in Jesuit teaching and is amazed by the students at Quinlan.
“I look forward to coming to campus every day because it feels like we’re on a shared learning journey that is collaborative, energizing, and deeply rewarding,” said Moran. “That spirit is a big part of what makes Quinlan special to me.”
Moran’s research is in organizational behavior. He studies how identity, story, and emotional dynamics interact to shape leadership effectiveness.
Brian Shoup, Accounting and Business Law
After earning his undergraduate degree in accounting (BBA ’89) and master’s degree in accounting (MSA ’21) from the Quinlan School of Business, Shoup began teaching at Quinlan in 2022. As a proud alumnus, he enjoys spending time on campus.
“It's a great community and I love working alongside faculty who truly care about the engagement and success of their students,” Shoup said.
His focus is helping students discover their true strengths and passions and then connect to the business world.
