Holly Johnson Article
Erika Dykstra

As a business graduate of Lake State in 2000, Holly Johnson has been a true Laker ever since her first day.  While employed by Lake State Holly has had many different titles including Administrative Assistant and Special Events Coordinator for Alumni Relations, Director of Student Life, and Director of Housing.  Her current title is the Director of Campus Life.  Recently Holly has been offered a job at the University of Northern Iowa as an Assistant Director for Membership and Special Projects for Alumni Relations.  Currently working at the University of Northern Iowa as the Director of Alumni Relations is Mark Jastorff, who was the Vice President for Student Life and Alumni Relations here at Lake State until last year.  
It was not an easy decision for Holly and her family to make.  Holly is currently working on her Masters degree and plans to pursue her Ph.D. when her Masters is completed.  One of the biggest advantages of moving to the University of Northern Iowa is she will be able to complete her education in a campus-based program rather than on-line if she were to stay at Lake State. Holly commented that, LSSU has been home for eleven years  and choosing to leave was a hard decision.  Im excited about new opportunities for both my career and my education, but our family started here at LSSU and well always be Lakers.
Hollys last day here at Lake State is Wednesday October 18 and she will begin at the University of Northern Iowa on October 23.  Holly is a great role model, friend, mentor, and colleague to many students and faculty members at Lake State.  You will be missed and we wish you and your family the best of luck.
