March Student of the Month: Jordan Buggs


Jordan is in his second semester of UACCM's Associate of Applied Science in Automotive Service Technology degree. When not in class, Jordan works as a Student Ambassador for the UACCM Admissions Office. 

After graduation, Jordan plans on becoming a Master Automotive Technician and eventually owning his own shop. 

Jordan says he always wanted to pursue a trade career and UACCM was the best fit for him because of the degree options, tuition, and proximity.

Jordan says his favorite things about UACCM are the faculty and staff. "They are the most genuine people I have ever met"

We asked Jordan if he had any advice for current and future Timberwolves, he said, "Ask for help around campus and you will receive guidance."
