Becker College has been under the leadership of Interim President Joseph W. Bascuas for the past eighteen months. There have been many candidates for the permanent position, and the selection process has been extremely vigorous. The recent selection of Becker’s president has students and faculty excited to see what types of changes are in store for the college.
Robert E. Johnson, Ph.D., Becker’s newest president, is an expert in enrollment management and has extensive experience in higher education. He has served as Senior Vice President of Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio since 2006. He has held leadership positions at University of Dayton, Oakland University, Rochester, Mich. and Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio.
Dr. Johnson feels Becker College has a wealth of potential and strongly believes that an optimistic outlook on his part will put Becker College on the map as an overall excellent institution. Dr. Johnson also feels that the students of Becker College are the future of the institution.
Dr. Johnson is more than just a suit in an office. With an idea of experiencing Becker as a full-time student, he plans to fully partake in everyday Becker life. He plans to have immense student interaction.
If you are a Becker student, you know it is not a common occurrence to see the president eating lunch in the cafeteria. Well, with Dr. Johnson “normal” occurrences will no longer control school convention. Becker College will begin to see change in a very positive manner.
For a moment, imagine this: you wake up for an 8:00t a.m. class and come to find the president of Becker College brushing his teeth and getting ready for his day in your residence hall. As silly as that may seem, you just may witness Dr. Johnson walking through your residence hall to experience the living situation of a typical full-time Becker student.
Dr. Johnson has many innovative concepts that will positively affect the admissions department, financial aid department, and the overall outlook of the college. Dr. Johnson’s job title grants him the ability to make changes to Becker College, changes that are intensely needed and will be made to further better the school.
The students and faculty of Becker College are very excited for President Johnson’s arrival and welcome him to the Becker College family. The Becker Journal Online wishes to welcome him and his family and wish him the very best of luck.
