What a great opportunity to be taught by such a phenomenal teacher. It is my pleasure to highly recommend Professor Dr. Marion Johnson to an future endeavors he may embark on. He taught my Cybersecurity Foundation course, and has encouraged my path to Security Engineering within Artificial Intelligence. His interpersonal communication skills, transparency, and willingness to assist are just a few of his many qualities that make him a favorable educator. During times of uncertainty, Dr. Johnson took time to clarify area where I may be confused, and never made me feel that I was inconveniencing him. His very strong and diverse background makes him the ideal leader and teacher in any field of life. I am extremely elated to have had him as a professor and recommend him to the highest extent.

What an excellent professor with an extremely fun class. I had the pleasure of taking Professor Johnson's FINC 321 class this fall. He was respectful of the students, created a collaborative but professional environment, and made career essential resources available in a way other professors did not. Thank you for going beyond the call of duty and thank you for a great semester.
