From Evaluations...

Having Jordon as my mentor for the past year, I have received guidance, support, and advice that has pushed me and motivated me to continue working hard for success and pursuing opportunities. - Clemson Junior Biology Student

If I had to sum up Jordon's mentorship in three words, I would use the words exploration, genuine, and growing. I use the word exploration, because he allows you to seek outside knowledge and try things differently in order to come up with the best result. I use the word genuine, because that is the vibe you get every time you speak to him. I use the word growing, because he isn't afraid to grow with you and learn along side you which makes for maximum progression. - Clemson Junior Industrial Engineering Student
