Administration Management

Hi Commuters, meet Jordan! Jordan is one of our transfer mentors here in the Center for Commuter Life who is majoring in Business Administration Management with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship. Jordan is graduating this May and hopes to attend graduate school somewhere out of the country! Jordan transferred to SDSU from a local community college and has commuted from Poway, with his best friend Sharon, every day by carpooling together. Jordan's favorite spot on campus is the Commuter Resource Center where he can relax and study in his free time. One fun fact about Jordan is that he studied abroad in Norway at BI Norwegian Business School for a whole semester! His favorite part about being in Norway was getting to experience all the snow. Jordan's advice to you all as commuters is to attend SDSU's sporting events, especially the basketball games, as they are a lot of fun and our team is amazing!
