Outside of Class

Jordan Golinkoff was in the Class of 2006 for a Master of Forestry, and Liz Forwand was in the Class of 2007 for a Master of Environmental Management. They didn’t meet until they signed up to a new student pot luck, and they talked a bit about what dishes they wanted to bring. Later, the sparks flew when they saw each other at a Duke Basketball campout, and they danced until late into the night together.

“My fondest memory of my time as a Duke student was getting to know so many other kindred spirits while at the same time learning more about the world around us,” Jordan said.

Jordan and Liz are now married, and he is working as a data scientist at Pandora (“think music, not jewelry,” he says) and she is working as the Director of Business Process Quality Assurance at FairTrade USA.
