From the traditions to the athletic fanbases, you could not ask for a better institution."

Jordan's goals for her position include breaking down barriers for students and campus partners to understand the Office of Student Activities and the registered student organization funding processes. "The Office of Student Activities has traditionally been a hub for student creativity and growth," she said. "I want to continue to foster that learning culture and winning culture. We win when our students enjoy their collegiate experience and take advantage of what we have to offer. We win when we get the community involved. There is so much to look forward to."
