Eddie Jordan, model student and Rutgers basketball coach, near graduation

By Jerry Carino

Susan Schurman had a feeling Eddie Jordan would be a good student. She did not know the Rutgers men’s basketball coach would be a great one.

“Eddie Jordan was outstanding, just outstanding,” said the dean of Rutgers’ School of Management and Labor Relations, who taught Jordan in a course called Group Dynamics and Team Leadership. “He performed at a level probably better than most master’s students. The younger students looked up to him, and he just impressed everyone.”

Barring an unforeseen setback, the 60-year-old Jordan will earn his undergraduate degree May 17, one month from today.
