As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we honor FAMU's 13th President Marva B. Johnson, J.D., MBA.

President Johnson's tenure began at a defining moment in FAMU’s institutional history, bringing with her a record of transformative leadership, policy mastery, and an unrelenting commitment to expanding opportunity.

President Johnson, a nationally recognized architect of education policy, served on the Florida State Board of Education beginning in 2014 and was elected chair in 2015 — guiding one of the nation's largest and most complex state education systems. Under her leadership, the Board advanced sweeping reforms in student outcomes, performance-based funding, and institutional accountability.

She has been a fierce and consistent voice for closing achievement gaps and ensuring that every student — regardless of zip code or background — has access to a world-class education. Her influence further extended to Florida's Constitution Revision Commission in 2018, where she chaired the Education Committee and helped shape the foundational law of the state.

Beyond the halls of government, President Johnson has been a driving force in the private sector. As Group Vice President of State Government Affairs at Charter Communications, she led efforts to bring broadband connectivity to underserved communities across nine southern states — understanding, long before it became a national priority, that digital access is an education access issue.

At FAMU, President Johnson is charting a bold course — accelerating the University's trajectory toward Carnegie R1 research classification, deepening federal partnerships, and positioning FAMU as a national hub for agricultural innovation, health equity, and workforce development.

President Johnson holds a Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law, an MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School, and a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Georgetown University.

A proud member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., she leads with purpose, principle, and the unshakable conviction that FAMU's greatest chapter is still ahead.

We celebrate you, President Johnson! 👑🐍
