Jordan Carr

Assistant Director of Academic Counseling
Student Services 

Jordan has established a reputation as someone who either knows the answer to a question, or would be able to direct you to a place where one could find the answer. She is being nominated for Citizenship, for her valuable contribution to the Law School Community. Jordan always goes above and beyond to help staff and students alike. She's an excellent listener, teacher, and adviser. She is a great source of information on course requirements, writing credits, and a plethora of academic policies.  Jordan's Law School knowledge goes way beyond what she is expected to know to be effective in her role. Last summer, she wore multiple advising hats and has become an expert in essentially all matters at Student Services: advising, dual degree programs, registration, accommodation requirements, and so much more. Jordan is a great resource to many beyond Student and Registration Services.  Her professional growth and willingness to share what she has learned is inspiring.

She is always responsive and organized, while maintaining a pleasant demeanor.  Her attention to detail is invaluable in the high level of workload.

Her commitment to provide excellent service to everyone, her patience, and willingness to volunteer her time to others are characteristics of why she has been nominated and now awarded with a STAR award.

Elizabeth Gloder

Assistant Director
Faculty Support Services

Elizabeth is a team player in every sense of the word. She consistently demonstrates an intense commitment to providing excellent service to students, faculty, and clinic clients.  Elizabeth works at a high level under pressure and on many occasions, will work through her lunch break to meet deadlines. Over the years, she has built strong relationships with colleagues that have insured a high level of trust and credibility.  During the clinic application process, she never hesitates to work long hours to process late application, and often volunteers to translate for Spanish speaking clients, and even went above and beyond by learning American Sign Language.  Elizabeth continues to step up to the plate. After having more than 20 years of devoted service to the Law Clinic, her impact is noticed - not only by the Clinic faculty, staff, and students, but also by the clients she serves.
