Alex Johnson Gala Event

Applause! Celebrate the leadership and legacy of Cuyahoga Community College President Alex Johnson
After nearly a decade of transformative leadership, Tri-C President Alex Johnson has announced his retirement, effective June 30, 2022. Johnson became the College’s fourth full-time president in July 2013. His legacy includes increased graduation rates and increased numbers of graduates. He pursued new investments in workforce training, capital improvements and programs serving those in low-income and distressed communities. He has been a highly engaged and dynamic leader in the Foundation’s fundraising efforts, bringing new levels of success to our philanthropic goals.
Please join us on Thursday, June 23, 2022 at Cleveland Public Auditorium to celebrate his legacy. A special concert featuring a Grammy-nominated artist will conclude the celebration and kick off the 43rd Annual Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland.
The Foundation has established the Dr. Alex Johnson Access, Equity and Success Fund in his honor. Event proceeds will benefit the fund, which supports Tri-C students with critical needs that may otherwise restrict their access to education. Sponsorship and dinner packages will include premier concert seating, fabulous food, cocktails and complimentary valet.
