The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is proud to honor Eric Johnson, MA English '05, with the 2026 CHSS alumni service to George Mason award.
Johnson's career has bridged digital innovation, humanities scholarship, and service to his alma mater. While earning his MA in English at George Mason, he created Open Source Shakespeare, a free online edition of the complete works that has become one of the most widely used Shakespeare resources on the web, drawn on by students, actors, and scholars worldwide; he later donated the site to the university, where it remains freely available today.
Throughout his career, Johnson has led digital transformation, program management, and technology initiatives across academic, cultural, and corporate institutions. He currently serves as vice president of the Enterprise Program Management Office at Coronis Health.
Congratulations, Eric Johnson!
