Antieris Johnson
Executive Administrative Assistant, Division of Student Success and Support Services
What do you do at UB?
I provide administrative/operational, budget, programmatic and project management support to the Division of Student Success and Support Services. I also provide support to divisional assessment activities and assist with the coordination of special projects. I have over 10 years experience in administrative support, project management and programming. I’m currently pursuing my M.S. in Nonprofit Management and Social Entrepreneurship at UB.What do you love best about UB?
Many people are familiar with the quote by spiritual author Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." I love helping students at UB illuminate the passion, the power and the purpose that lives within them. Are you waiting for someone to give you permission to shine? The wait is over! Let your light shine brighter and encourage others to do the same.Top 5 Strengths: Strategic | Positivity | Relator | Maximizer | Futuristic
