Amy Johnson

I come to CGS with nearly a decade of experience in higher education, student/faculty engagement, and relationship-building roles across diverse academic sectors. As the Academic Program Administrator for the Office of Dean, I play a pivotal role in managing faculty actions, coordinating key aspects of the Boston-London Program, and handling program logistics such as travel, speaker engagements, and event planning. Prior to stepping into my current role at CGS, I served as Academic Program Manager for BU’s Metropolitan College (MET) for over five years. My earlier experiences include serving as the Assistant Director of Admission for the Savannah College of Art and Design and interning in Paris with CEA Study Abroad.

I hold a Master of Arts in Gastronomy from BU, where my thesis research focused on traditional winemaking and agroecology in France. I also earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Journalism and Anthropology from the University of Arizona. My educational background has greatly informed my approach to creating inclusive and engaging academic environments.

In addition to my professional and academic roles, I am an active volunteer for a number of local non-profits. I serve as primary coordinator for the Fenway Victory Gardens’ donation garden, which grows, harvests, and donates fresh produce to a Boston-based women’s shelter. Most importantly, I served the role of foster parent to several adopted dogs through Ruff Tales Rescue.
