Dorothy
Johnson Booth Memorial Scholarship
The Dorothy
Johnson Booth Memorial Scholarship pays tribute to an outstanding El Centro
College faculty member, who for over 20 years taught psychology to DCCCD
students with heartfelt dedication, enthusiasm, and excellence. After
she retired from classroom teaching, her continued devotion to higher
education was apparent in her community volunteer work.
