Virginia Western Community College continually seeks to put students at the center of the College’s mission and resources. A new role is charged with coordinating a wide array of resources into cohesively tailored ways to meet individual student needs.
The College has welcomed Danielle Johnson as Director of Student Support Services. Johnson brought the skill set of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and community-based advocate when she began in the fall.
Throughout her 15-year career, Johnson has led mental health programming, crisis response protocols and collaborative initiatives to address student needs. Working in K-12 and higher education as well as community-based systems, Johnson has designed and led equity-centered, trauma-informed support models that strengthen student well-being and nurture academic success.
