Meet our President💜💛

For Joyce Johnson, leadership goes beyond 1876, it’s about impact at every level. Through her involvement with the Texas Workforce Commission, she is committed to creating opportunities that extend beyond campus, shaping both Texas and global communities.

Her focus is simple but powerful: building programs that empower student-athletes to grow into caring, driven global citizens, on and off the court.

Because the work doesn’t stop at support, it expands into purpose.

Q1 wasn’t just a start, it was impact in motion. 💜

From voter registration, to building with Stryker & Urban Hydration, to family moments at the Houston Rockets game, our KPVU-TV & KPVU-FM 91.3 interview, and bringing the community together for the 1876 5K Fun Run/Walk, every moment pushed the mission forward.
This is purpose in action. And we’re just getting started.
