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.
