I became acquainted with Dr. Johnson in her administrative role upon my arrival as a new full time faculty member assigned to the Moreno Valley campus in the fall of 2012. At the time, she was working on her Ed.D. degree, and we formed a positive, collegial relationship that has endured after our duties took us to other locations and focused on other responsibilities. “Then as the Brandman University Virtual Branch of the American Association of University Women began to solidify in 2015, our paths crossed again and we built upon our existing solid relationship. She was one of the first faculty members to become involved with this new initiative. Further, she spearheaded our AAUW branch’s commitment to diversity, serving as Diversity Chair and organizing and facilitating the Diversity Workshop that was held university-wide during Spring 2018 Retreat. “She has proven herself to be an innovator and a leader who is well respected and is able to get things done. She is clearly deserving of a promotion to the rank of Associate Professor.” Leigh Ann Wilson Associate Professor Arts & Sciences
