About the Jordan Institute

Mission Statement

The Memorial Student Center L.T. Jordan Institute for International Awareness is a student and staff run organization dedicated to providing Texas A&M University and the surrounding community with international exposure through programming and travel abroad opportunities.

Brief History

The MSC L.T. Jordan Institute for International Awareness has become a leader in providing students with opportunities for learning about the world in which we live.  The Jordan Institute first opened its doors in December 1986 through a generous endowment from Mrs. Jessie Wright Jordan in the name of her late husband, Leland Thomas Jordan.  Having lived abroad most of their lives, they knew the importance of traveling abroad and wanted to give Texas A&M students the opportunity to experience it themselves.  Since its inception in 1986, the MSC L.T. Jordan Institute has grown to bring many innovative and creative programs to Texas A&M University.

The Memorial Student Center (MSC), which houses the Jordan Institute, is Texas A&M's student union which has served the Aggie community since 1951.  Here is the history and the mission statement of the MSC.

Subcommittees

The MSC L.T. Jordan Institute for International Awareness is committee of the MSC Student Council, with all its general committee members actively serving on at least one subcommittee.  Each of our programs is produced by one of these subcommittees.  In addition to these programming committees, several internal subcommitees exist to support the Jordan Institute:

This is not a committee but rather one or two people with the skills to maintain our presence on the Internet.
