In 2018, the Jackson sisters graduated from North Houston Early College with a high school diploma and Associate degree at the age of 17. Now, at 20-years-old, the twins are ready to start the next phase of their career. On May 8th, Jordyn obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. Morgan earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communications.

“It’s never too early to start working on your craft and you’re never too young to make an impact,” says Jordyn. “One of the things my sister and I took advantage of when we got to Xavier was the Office of Career Service. That office is vital to your college career. I was able to have three internships with PwC just by always being in the Office of Career Services, working on my craft, and working on my interview.” 

She adds, “It’s never too early to start working on you. While you are sleeping and procrastinating, there is someone that is always working 50 times harder. They are on their grind and working to be the best they can be.”

At 20-years-old, Jordyn and Morgan have already built impressive resumes that will lead to more opportunities.

They are both members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Jordyn was a Resident Assistant, INROADS scholar, and Executive Leadership Council scholar. She’s also had three internships with Big Four accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and is a student member of the AICPA.

Morgan is part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and National Millennial & Generation Z Community. She is a published writer and has worked as a Marketing and Communications Specialist for the Center for Minority Health & Health Disparities Research & Education within the College of Pharmacy.

On top of their extracurricular and leadership activities, both twins have exuded academic excellence through their recognition on the Dean’s list and honor societies. Their exemplary performance has been a magnet for opportunities on campus and beyond.

“Seize every opportunity and always present your best self,” says Morgan. “I can remember times when there was a small event on campus or someone was coming to speak. I made sure I was presenting my best self.  You never know who you are going to meet or see. When you walk around, you are your own brand.”

Now, Jordyn and Morgan are preparing for the next opportunity that awaits them.

“All of our lives we have been together,” Jordyn posted on LinkedIn. “Now we will be entering separate educational pathways to make our impact on the world.”

Morgan will be attending The University of Missouri-Columbia to pursue her Master’s degree in Journalism. Jordyn will start her Master’s degree program in Accounting this Fall.
