Former Penn basketball great Mike Jordan back in town as a Drexel assistant coach | Mike Jensen

Jordan was a high school star in Philly before he played for many years as a pro overseas.In honor of fellow Friar Eric Furda & his amazing legacy at Penn, here’s a fun photo from Quaker Days 2018, when my youngest son Ryan decided on Penn. Very grateful for Eric’s outstanding leadership as Dean of Admissions! We first met in the late 80s, when I was a student intern and he was a young admissions officer. Lots of fun was had alongside Chris Ahearn, Jim Karp, and Glenn Singleton. And 30+ years later, Eric still has his same youthful smile & energy! He is certainly leaving behind very BIG shoes to fill! Best wishes Eric and thank you for all you have given to our beloved alma mater!! ❤️💙❤️💙
