GHC alumnus Joseph “Joey” Johnson will be the 2017 commencement speaker, where he will address GHC’s 689 graduating students on May 13th at The Forum River Center in downtown Rome at 1PM.
Joey, who earned a Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine just this year, has had an incredible journey: he went from working 70 hours a week in a factory to becoming the first African American president of the national American Medical Student Association.
