History department outreach and community engagement director Jessica Johnson is recipient of the 2022 Chancellor's Citation Award. The only campus-wide award exclusively for staff, the Chancellor's Citation recognizes 10 employees annually who have demonstrated outstanding performance in helping the university achieve its goals and objectives through original contributions to the university, attainment of high-priority university objectives, performance “beyond the call of duty” and/or achievement of significant improvements in productivity or savings in university operations.
Johnson was nominated by Barbara Krauthamer, Professor of History and Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, in recognition of her work developing the history department’s online educational offerings and on other programs and collaborations -- including the Feinberg Series, the Ellsberg Conference, and initiatives with local teachers, museums and more -- that bring UMass Amherst to our wider community and our wider community to UMass.
