CeeCee Johnson

President

Tera "CeeCee" Johnson is a first-year graduate student, pursuing her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. A student assistant at the Center for Community-Based Partnerships — an initiative of the Division of Community Affairs — she became interested in community-engaged research because it combines her passion for working with people and her research interests, which lie in quality mental health care in rural areas. During her undergraduate years, she experimented with cognitive and clinical psychology research before redirecting her focus toward counseling. She hopes to supplement her research skills with the practical skills she will learn during the course of her graduate degree. This is her fifth year of engagement scholarship work, and her goal for the year is to introduce engagement scholarship to a new group of students. A native of Waynesboro, Mississippi, CeeCee previously served as vice president of SCOPE prior to being named president for the 2017–2018 academic year. She enjoys reading, music and hiking.
