While earning a degree in learning and organizational change, Jackson Gordwin served as president of Strive, Northwestern’s club for Black men. Gordwin helped club members connect with alumni while supporting Strive’s trivia nights, clothing drives, volunteer events and annual basketball tournament. He also volunteered with Black Men LEAD, a partnership between Evanston Township High School (ETHS) and Northwestern. “I’ve been able to see [the ETHS students] grow as learners throughout my time at the school,” Gordwin says. “That’s been really cool ... being given the opportunity to help them on their own educational journey.” Originally from Chandler, Ariz., Gordwin says he plans to travel to different Major League Baseball stadiums this summer and will start law school at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law in August.
