This is his second semester working on the marketing team. Previously he was the Web designer. He is currently responsible for helping bring in a studio audience for the live production and promoting internship opportunities during the week. On show days, he gives tours to groups attending the live television show. “I love the professionalism that everyone displays at all times, not just [on] show days but every day, either on campus or out reporting. We also know how to make it fun while keeping the professionalism. It really shows we are part of something special,” he says. Johnson is a 2009 Buffalo High School graduate and is the son of Peter and Linda Johnson. He has received a Community of Learners scholarship and Hanover Athletics Association Community scholarship. This semester he received the Studio One Recognition of Excellence for his quality contributions and dedication to the program. He is pursuing a degree in marketing with a minor in international business and Spanish and is expected to graduate in May 2014. He plans to work in international marketing and eventually work with a non-profit. “Studio One will prepare me for any situation I come across upon graduating. It has helped me become comfortable in any speaking situation, whether it’s in front of a crowd or face-to-face,” he explains.
