Manor College recently welcomed Shelley Johnson, CPA, MBA, as its new Vice President of Finance and Facilities. Johnson officially began his new role on Oct. 28.
“I chose Manor College because I am deeply committed to its mission and values,” Johnson said. “The college’s focus on supporting students from diverse backgrounds and helping them achieve their academic and personal goals truly resonates with me. I find great professional satisfaction in being part of a community that prioritizes student success.”
Johnson comes to Manor College having spent more than a decade at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, where he served as Director of Finance. Before his tenure at Wills Eye, Johnson was a key Financial Leader at Thomas Jefferson University for 15 years, including Director of Operations.
His expertise includes managing complex regulatory compliance, leading major system implementations, and providing internal audit and academic accounting oversight. Johnson is a Certified Public Accountant and is credentialed with an MBA in Finance from La Salle University. He was born and raised in Mt. Airy and earned a bachelor’s of Business from Temple University.
“Shelley’s qualifications and experiences preceded him,” Dr. Jonathan Peri, Manor College President, said. “We had four CPAs and six finance people on the search committee, plus other highly qualified executives. So what separated Shelley from the other candidates was how he presented himself to be far more than a numbers guy. He understands relationship dynamics and has strong emotional intelligence. He discussed the importance of attentiveness to others’ needs and he exhibited the maturity of knowing that, to describe the conversation as St. Basil might, ‘he who sows courtesy reaps friendships.’ When you collaborate with others, you achieve more together for those you serve.”
Manor College would like to formally welcome Shelley and his family into Manor College community!
