Alumni Spotlight: Jordon McGowan, Class of 2021! 🌟
It was at Southeast Delco that Jordon first learned the power of perseverance and community. After earning a full-ride scholarship through the prestigious Bill and Melinda Gates Scholarship, he was accepted into Drexel University to study biomedical engineering.
While at Drexel, he contributed to a published research paper focused on a pediatric artificial heart and spent over a year as an R&D project engineer for an orthopedic prosthetic manufacturer. His work is already making a difference in the lives of others! 🔬
“Going to Southeast Delco taught me to embrace my community and learn that it takes a village to raise a student,” Jordon says.
We’re proud to see how far Jordon has come—and we cannot wait to see what he does next! 🎉
