  • Olivia Jordan
    OLIVIA JORDAN NEW YORK POST – NOVEMBER 2017 Modal Trigger Model Olivia Jordan — one of six open casting finalists for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue — has two favorite assets . but they’re not what you’d expect. “My feet are my favorite part of my body,” the Tulsa, Oklahoma native, 29, says. They’ve carried her through a robust career so far. In 2015, Jordan was crowned Miss USA. She’s currently pursuing an acting career — she’s appeared in “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” and Lifetime’s “Unreal.” And, of course, she’s done some foot modeling on the side. But, growing up, Jordan wasn’t always confident about her body and described herself as a “tall, awkwardly lanky and insecure.” She ended up going to a modeling workshop at 14 years old for a self-esteem boost. And when she showed up to meetings with casting agents who told her to lose weight, she says she pulled out copies of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and said, “These girls looked like me and there’s a place for me in the industry,” Jordan says. “I don’t have to fit into a box.” Meanwhile, her ultimate goal is to be an all-around entertainer. “I’d love to have a career like Tyra Banks’ and Christie Brinkley’s,” she says.

    Summer 2020, Volume 96, Number 2 From the INTERIM PRESIDENT Showing Our Stripes, Roaring Forward In times of great crisis throughout history, our LSU family has always responded with great resiliency and resolve to serve our state and country and to support one another. Faced with a pandemic that has brought unprecedented disruption, Tigers across the nation are once again rising to meet the challenge of this historical moment by helping their neighbors and communities. The medical professionals heroically treating patients on the frontline of the coronavirus fight include many LSU alumni. They are supported by our innovative LSU researchers, who have achieved breakthroughs in testing, PPE production, and clinical trials on treatment options and potential vaccines. Through these and countless other inspiring efforts by our LSU family to fight the pandemic, we have shown why great research universities like LSU exist. By leveraging our extensive expertise, innovation, research, assets, and facilities, our LSU family has helped flatten the curve and continues to play a vital role in our recovery. The dedication and determination displayed by our students, faculty, and staff – who quickly transitioned to remote learning and working during the spring semester and persevered with great success – has been equally inspiring. And though our celebration looked different this year, it was with great joy and pride that we recently honored the amazing accomplishments of our Class of 2020 graduates. We look forward to holding an in-person commencement ceremony for them on our flagship campus when it is safe to do so. “We will continue to As our new graduates enter the workforce, many of the career opportunities they were hoping to take advantage of have suddenly evaporated due to the persevere through this economic crisis created by the pandemic.
