Jordan Awards
The Jordan Awards recognize individuals who exemplify our college’s highest standards in academics, campus involvement, and community service.
Little is known about Dr. Jordan’s early years, however, it is known that he attended Tuskegee University for his undergraduate studies. Jordan then attended the soon to close San Francisco Veterinary College in 1917 before transferring to Washington State College of Veterinary Science. After graduation from the WSU as the first Black male (and possibly the first person of color) veterinary graduate in 1920, Jordan pursued a master’s from the University of Utah in 1923. Soon after his studies, Jordan served as an Instructor at Delaware State College and was involved with the U.S. Bureau of Animal Industry. Jordan was then appointed by Gov. William Hastie to a post in the Virgin Islands to serve as veterinarian in the region.
Nominations will open in 2027.
