By being transparent with communication, enhancing the sense of community, and implementing targeted initiatives – the Student Council will ensure that needs of the Johnson student body are represented in matters of both academic and non-academic concern.

For example… Josh Lapray- Faculty Chair “Curriculum Review” TanickaDecembre has been doing an incredible job over the past year to perform a curriculum review of core, immersion and elective courses at Johnson. She has been working with alumni, recruiters, and current students at Johnson to identify strengths and weaknesses of our curriculum and decide on what actions must be taken that will best represent the needs and preferences of all. The curriculum review has been an ongoing effort since last year and is currently in the stages of providing everyone at Johnson an opportunity to share their ideas and opinions through small focus group sessions and online surveys. These suggestions have been passed on to the curriculum review committee. Please be aware that your opinions are heard and considered, and also know that changes to curriculum take a considerable amount of time, we thank you for your patience and understanding. We also urge all students to participate in these focus group sessions when invited and to continue to share your suggestions and ideas for improving Johnson’s curriculum.
Jerry Petit-Frere- CMC Chair “Focus on getting more and better companies recruiting on campus, especially west coast/tech firms” The CMC has been working very diligently to ensure that the best companies are coming to campus. As Fred mentioned in an e-mail he sent out in the beginning of March, “The trends are up for internships. Johnson reported 281 postings on JTS for internships this year, up from 202 last year.”
Jonathan Schmitz- Technology Chair “Jconnect and Communication Issues” We’ve received plenty of feedback about JConnect and JMisc. While it is a great system, we think there are some tweaks to be made. Within JConnect, we are aiming to simplify navigation, add breakout room reservation, and streamline communications to lower the reliance on JMisc for mass communication. For those who want to get involved and give additional feedback, we’ll have more details soon.
Tricia Panaguiton- Community Chair • "More Community Oriented Activities. More Social Programming.“ • You may have seen the flyers or heard the buzz about the Johnson Community Dinner initiative.
