Hansford Johnson
Academic Advisor
Corporate Mentor Program

Married to the woman of my dreams and have two wonderful daughters. Born in Liberia, Africa, I grew up in Atlanta, GA where I was very active in sports and student organizations. Received a scholarship to play football at Middle Tennessee State University where I was a three year starter and team captain. Graduated with a degree in Finance and was heavily involved in a Christian organization called Every Nation Ministries. After completion of my undergraduate studies I attended the Graduate School of Campus Ministry and studied Anthropology and Intercultural Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA. Reported back to Tennessee where I was appointed the Campus Director at Austin Peay State University until I moved to Tampa in 2004. Upon arriving in Tampa I served the Hillsborough County School District as a mentor and motivational speaker to football teams and clubs. In 2007 I was offered a job to work at Chamberlain High School as the director for the Academy of Finance and summer internship coordinator, coached football and track, and ran a program that mentored young males and females in the issue of life and education.

Here at the University of South Florida I will be the coordinator for the Corporate Mentor Program and First Generation Business Bulls as well as advising students in the College of Business.
