“Krista has a broad background in education with a special focus on curriculum management and business that will benefit both of our colleges,” said district chancellor Jannett Jackson.
“Her knowledge and understanding of the workforce needs of this region is an added resource that will serve us well,” Jackson added.
Johns brings more than 25 years of experience in higher education policy, research, business and law to her new position. Prior to joining the California community college system, she worked at the University of Mississippi and the University of Nevada, Reno.
