Recruitment Teams

Recruitment Teams are small, carefully selected student teams that travel nationwide throughout the summer to assist with summer camps and promote Johnson University. The teams are comprised of students from varying programs of study, with differing talents, personalities, and backgrounds. Each student is carefully chosen to represent the university with excellence.

Presidential Ambassadors

Presidential Ambassadors are students nominated by faculty and staff. Ambassadors volunteer their time to represent the University in a variety of ways including serving at banquets and special events, assisting with Homecoming, picking up or dropping off special guests visiting campus, supporting guest services during special events, and serving as college representatives at conferences.

Vox Royale

This select, primarily a cappella ensemble is open to any student or community member by audition. The ensemble performs a wide repertoire of music and represents Johnson University at events, retreats, conferences, and worship services on and off campus. The group rehearses twice a week.

University Choir

University Choir is a select ensemble open to any student, faculty, staff, or community member. The choir prepares two concerts each year and sings in campus programs including Festival of Christmas Joy, Lessons & Carols, Homecoming, and Commencement. The choir occasionally represents Johnson University at select events, conferences, and local churches.

The mission of SGA is to build a united student body through encouraging and uplifting servant leadership. We strive to be the unified voice of student concerns, while creating campus involvement and community outreach. We seek to glorify God, further the kingdom, and enrich the campus of Johnson University.

Within SGA there are five committees that students can be involved in: Student Life, Campus Life, Major Events, Spiritual Life, and Public Relations. These committees work to create change on campus and plan events for the student body! Some of these events include Founders Day, Coffeehouse, Student Revival Week, Orange and Black, Town Hall Meetings, Worship Nights, and more!

SGA meets weekly to update the student body on concerns, proposals, and events. This is a great opportunity for any student to ask questions and learn more about how to get involved.

All JU students are invited to be part of SGA by getting involved in a committee, joining weekly meetings, attending events, or bringing us your comments and concerns. Email to learn more.
