"Being a student at the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana has helped me tremendously in developing my work ethic, sense of self-worth, and appetite for challenges," said Johnson. "My time at UAHT has been remarkable. The college's business program has significantly impacted my intellectual self-assurance, interpersonal abilities in groups, understanding of variety, and both my written and verbal communication skills. The program gave me the opportunity to grow as a person and learn what it means to be a business professional."

Outside the classroom, Johnson serves as a youth mentor at St. Paul Baptist Church and volunteers at Randy Sams' Outreach Shelter and local nursing homes.
