Mr. Johnson is tremendously committed to the counseling role that he holds at the Damon City Campus. One of his major responsibilities includes the oversight of disability services for the campus, and he was instrumental in creating policy and protocol related to students with disabilities. During this tenure, the number of students with disabilities has tripled, and the needs of those students have been challenging. He is viewed as a mentor, coach, and leader to students at DCC and is known for his handling of numerous walk-ins, many of whom ask for him personally due to his open and giving nature with students. He serves the entire student population at DCC in his counseling role and, in particular, is a strong role model for African American urban men; he is always available to offer support and mentorship to this special population. Michael actively engages students in learning through his involvement with campus events and programming and has been active in student leadership programs and in several DCC student government initiatives. As the Career and Transfer Center has grown in the last three years, he has been a leader and has trained the interns, enhanced materials and developed policy and protocol for the center. He took the initiative this year to apply to the United Way of Greater Rochester’s African American Leadership Development Program and has begun to use this experience in practical applications at DCC, expressing an interest in taking a more active role in administrative functions within student services.
