Kayley Johnson has been named the Northern State University Foundation Director of Alumni Services. Johnson joined the team in March of 2023, and is responsible for planning and implementing programs and projects that engage alumni in strengthening and providing tangible benefits to alumni, the university and current students.
“As a student at NSU, I quickly realized I had found a place for me,” Johnson said. “Being a Wolf is more than just getting a degree. It's building a community of individuals who are supportive and are always there to give you everything you need to be successful. Now, as an alum, and new Director of Alumni Services, it's important for me to help Alumni realize the influence they have on the university and its community. It's important to stay connected and engaged with the University you came to love as a student. We, as alum, have the opportunity to support, guide, and influence today's students to be successful in their adventures through various ways! I look forward to meeting you as you continue to stay connected and engaged with NSU, other alumni & friends!”
Johnson holds a B.S. in Education from NSU and was previously the Director of the YMCA Youth Development Center.
