Rochester City Court Judge Teresa Johnson has been named the 2011–12 Minett Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Johnson, who has served in the Rochester City Court for more than 20 years, will serve as an adjunct faculty member in RIT’s College of Liberal Arts for one academic year.

Established in 1991, Minett appointees are distinguished Rochester-area minority professionals from business, government and nonprofit organizations. Appointed by RIT President Bill Destler and Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Kevin McDonald, Minett Professors share their professional knowledge and experience as adjunct faculty, program leaders or coordinators of special projects.

“We are excited to welcome Judge Johnson into the RIT family as a Minett professor,” McDonald said. “Her expertise and experience as a judge and attorney will be an invaluable resource for our criminal justice students, as well as students who plan to attend law school.”

Last year’s Minett professors were Antoinette McCorvey, chief financial officer for Eastman Kodak Co., and James Norman, president and chief executive officer of Action for a Better Community.
