Keynote Address: Mr. Zackeus Johnson

Zackeus D. Johnson, an energetic, motivated, and multi-talented, friendly Alcornite was born and raised in Liberty, MS. His parents are Monica Z. Johnson and Johnnie W. Scott.

At Alcorn State University, Mr. Johnson held a plethora of leadership positions such as the President for the University’s Student Ambassadors, Junior Class President 2013-14 and Student Government Association President for the 2014-15 academic school years. The leadership positions listed has equipped Zack for his professional journey.

Mr. Johnson is also a spring 2014 initiate into the Delta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. He is also an active member of the Liberty Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Derrick T. Williams.

Volunteer and service is what he enjoys doing the most. Mr. Johnson was a USDA 1890 Scholar. This scholarship paid for his education during his tenure at Alcorn State University and provided him internships in Washington, D.C. He played and still plays a vital role in the lives of young men and women at Alcorn State University, Southern University and A&M College and within his community. He has a desire for all young adults to attend a college of their choice and have a powerful “why” while being a “peak” performer.

Zackeus graduated from Alcorn State University, with honors, and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture Business Management. He is a recent graduate of Southern University and A&M College with his Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. He is now an Academic Advisor and Freshman Seminar Instructor in the Department of CUSA at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, LA.
