Jackie Johnson, vice president of Operational Risk Management Information Security at Synchrony, and member of the College of Informatics Advisory Board, recently became a member of the College of Informatics Diversity Task Force. The task force focuses on four main areas: faculty and staff recruitment and retention, student recruitment, student retention, and curriculum and pedagogy.
“I was impressed by the willingness of the Informatics faculty and staff to tackle the diversity opportunities, and I wanted to help influence and make a difference” Johnson says. “I believe NKU should be an advocate for social justice by increasing awareness with students, faculty and staff on the importance of fair and just economic, political and social rights.”
