Impact
The Johnson’s established this endowment to help College of Technology students in need, especially those who have shown determination and drive in meeting their goals. The Johnson’s are interested in supporting students whose ambitions have set them apart from other students. Jeff noted how he wanted this gift to support the Dean at the College of Technology and allow him/her flexibility in making the award based on the greatest needs, and those objective circumstances or priorities that would matter the most.
