New vice president appointed

Johnson-Hawkins might potentially be interested in postponing her retirement.” Alma JohnsonHawkins, who is the vice president of Academic Affairs at LAMC, will be replacing Joy McCaslin, the current president of Student services. Among JohnsonHawkins’ previous experiences in higher education are dean of Academic Affairs at LAMC and dean of the Workforce Education and Economic Development at East Los Angeles College.

She has over 30 years of administrative and faculty experience.

“She has a lot of experience with accreditation,” Burke-Kelly said.

Johnson-Hawkins is planned to work at Pierce for the next year only.

“I know her and her work-style, and know she would be a good fit with the team we have thus far, which is myself and Anna Davies,” Burke-Kelly said when explaining the reason she chose JohnsonHawkins to be the vice president of Student Services at Pierce.
