Johnson has been hired away from Alamance Community College to become RCC’s next vice president of learning and workforce development.

“Dr. Johnson is a transformational leader who understands the evolving needs of our students, faculty, and communities,” said Shah Ardalan, RCC’s president. “Her personal story — from first-generation college graduate to First Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force to community college leader — is one that mirrors our mission.”
Johnson has been vice president of student learning and chief academic officer at Alamance CC. She had previous administrative roles at Central Carolina Community College, including Dean of Health Sciences and Human Services.
Johnson received her doctorate in higher education leadership from Concordia (Oregon) University, a master’s in dental hygiene education from the University of North Carolina, and a bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene from St. Petersburg (Florida) College.
According to RCC’s release, she’ll lead efforts to expand educational pathways, grow workforce development opportunities, and support student achievement across the college.
She is scheduled to begin May 1 at RCC.
