As HRVI celebrates its 20th anniversary throughout 2022, we are also celebrating the countless achievements and contributions of our founding Executive Director Colonel (Ret.) Jim Johnson, who has announced he will retire from Marist later this year. To recognize Jim and his wife Lois, both longtime advocates for and supporters of Hudson River Valley history, we have established the Dr. James M. and Lois S. Johnson Student Research Fund of the Hudson River Valley Institute.

As an endowed fund, the Johnson Student Research Fund offers supporters the opportunity to contribute to student success at Marist College in a way that will live in perpetuity and make a meaningful impact for students well into the future. The fund will allow students from a variety of economic backgrounds to have equal access to the enrichment potential that comes from a fully realized internship experience with HRVI.

Many of HRVI’s intern alums cite their internship experiences as being a transformative time in their development from undergraduate students to job candidates and professionals. Often, the publication credit and portfolio materials that come from an HRVI internship become a focal point of graduate school admittance and job interviews. Additionally, working with the HRVI staff is the first time many Marist students put their classroom education to use in a professional setting, producing materials that are utilized to promote various dimensions of Hudson River Valley history or published in a variety of potential formats.
