A first-generation college student himself, Johnny Dominguez has dedicated his career to increasing the percentage of first-generation students accessing, and ultimately completing, institutions of higher learning. And like a true community advocate, he’s more than happy to work behind the scenes to watch students reach their full potential and shine.
As Q3 Student Partners’ first chief program officer, Dominguez is poised to help students even further by building a first-of-its-kind, community-based living learning program, offering affordable student housing with wrap-around support to pave a path for first-generation students from college to career.
Dominguez never shies away from an opportunity to mentor and guide the younger generation. He’s a member of the Industry Leader Advisory Council, which advises the UNLV College of Liberal Arts dean’s office on professional development initiatives for undergraduate students. The council provides sustainable career education opportunities, as well as enhances the local Las Vegas hiring pipeline to promote students’ successful post-graduate careers.
