Student Profile
Juwan Jordan '17
What I enjoyed most about Holy Family was being able to gain a great education while being a student-athlete.
I decided to become a Sport Marketing-Management Major because I enjoy all sports and love to learn how operations around stadiums or a sports league are run. Being able to work for a professional team has always been my dream. I was grateful to gain a job with the Phillies through my degree in Sport Marketing-Management.
