Dr. Alexis Johnson

Assistant Director of the Center for Faculty LIFE

Dr. Alexis Johnson

“I am delighted to be working with the ATU Center of Faculty LIFE because I truly believe that we can continue to learn and grow as educators. My hope is that I can reach my colleagues and support them in accomplishing their goals, whether that is providing an activity that reminds them of their ‘why’ for pursuing a career in higher education or assisting them in finding beneficial resources. “If we can take care of ourselves, grow and ignite a spark of curiosity in ourselves, we are able to translate that to others.”

Dr. Johnson earned her PhD from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She has been with ATU since 2015 and is currently an Associate Professor of Communication.
