University of California, Berkeley
Berkeley is misidentified here as Cairo's alma mater. Reporting on her education says she took Berkeley courses through a concurrent-enrollment program and had not yet earned any degree.
Full reasoning
The infobox labels the University of California, Berkeley as Cairo's alma mater, but the available reporting describes a different relationship: she took Berkeley classes through concurrent enrollment while still in high school.
Quanta reports that Stankova encouraged Cairo to join Berkeley's concurrent enrollment program, and later says that after Cairo applied directly to graduate school, "When she finishes, it will be her first degree." UMD likewise says she "joined Berkeley's concurrent enrollment program to take graduate-level math courses." Those sources indicate Berkeley was a place where she studied, not an institution from which she had earned a degree. So listing Berkeley as her alma mater is misleading.
