She also worked at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Johnson received her bachelor’s degree in mass communications from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, her master’s degree in mass communications from Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, La., and a doctorate from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.
“I’m excited to welcome Dr. Johnson back to the dolphin family,” said Deborah Casey, Ph.D., president of Wor-Wic. “Her background and experience will be outstanding assets to Wor-Wic, our students and our community.”
Johnson will oversee college-wide initiatives that lead to enrollment and student success, as well as community partnerships.
