Ferrum College President Shares Views on Running a Small College

Ferrum College and president David Johns are featured by The Roanoke Times in "New Ferrum president takes a big picture view of running a small college."  The article with reporting by Casey Fabris was published on March 19, 2018.

Fabis presents a picture of a president who maintains an active and visible role on campus and in the broader community.  Johns shares priorities common for other small institutions: college access, retention, and student success.  He also notes that, “Anything that you can think about that is true in terms of running a community, a town, is true about being in charge of a college.”

Ferrum College, founded in 1913, is located in southwest Virginia.  It is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and enrolls 1,294 students.
