Keisha Jordan

My name is Markeisha Jordan and I am a psychology major from Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Since my time here at Calvin, I have been privileged to become a M.A.C (multicultural activities coordinator), the vice-president of the breakthrough gospel ministry (student organization), and an orientation leader.   I am truly over filled with joy to be serving as a Barnabas leader in the dorms.  I am so thankful to God that He has chosen me to be not only a mentor or a friend to the residents, but also the light.  I am looking forward to seeing how God is going to work in and through His people this year as He helps us to fulfill the plans He has for our lives.
