It is with deep sorrow that we share the tragic news of the loss of CSM communication professor Gina Johnson, who passed away on Oct. 28. There is so much to share about Professor Johnson and the impact she made on the lives of our students and our entire college community, and she will be dearly missed. Please keep her family in your hearts during this incredibly difficult time.
A celebration of Professor Johnson’s life will be held at the Peace Lutheran Church, 401 Smallwood Dr., St. Charles, Md. 20602, on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m. with a reception to follow.
If you are dealing with grief and would like guidance and support, please reach out to CSM Counseling Services.
Make your voice heard by taking part in the Charles County Transit Development Plan Community Survey by Nov. 15.

Your input will be invaluable in ensuring that public transit in our area develops to meet your needs.
