1 Five More Years For Providence President Pic
Dr. David Johnson Providence University College

Dr. David Johnson, President of Providence University College, has been reappointed for another five-year term, which will see him lead the university through 2021.

“Our Board of Governors was happy to renew Dr. Johnson’s contract as President, and we look forward to his leadership and input over the next five years,” says Board Chair Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht. “Dr. Johnson has dedicated himself to tirelessly pursuing the success of Providence.”

Primary among Johnson’s priorities for the coming years is bolstering the school’s academic offerings. He points to the school’s signature business, counselling, and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) programs and believes Providence, with increased science offerings, enhanced accessibility through distance education in the Seminary, and a growing Mile Two Discipleship School, is setting itself up well for the future.

Johnson says that Providence is positioning itself as one of the leading Christian universities in Canada.
