Wiley University junior and Miss National UNCF Jordan Dansby will once again add to her impressive academic portfolio by participating in two extraordinary experiences—one with PROPEL, the first-of-its-kind global innovation hub for HBCUs, and the other with the 2024 Urban One Honors on TVOne.’
Wiley University is one of the black colleges supported by the Black College Fund which provides financial support to maintain solid, challenging academic programs; strong faculties; and well-equipped facilities.
This will be the second year Dansby has been chosen for a dynamic experiential learning opportunity with PROPEL. This year, she was one of 40 student finalists selected to visit Apple Headquarters in Cupertino, CA, as part of a new PROPEL Apprenticeship.
In addition, Dansby will travel to Atlanta, GA, to serve as a student presenter for the 6th Annual Urban One Honors award show broadcasting on February 25 on TVONE.
She was selected after submitting a video that showcased her extraordinary talent and success as a student at Wiley University. In Dansby’s time at Wiley University, the junior has a long list of accomplishments, alongside being an academically gifted student, she is serving as the 10th straight Miss Wiley UNCF to win National Miss UNCF. She was also a Freedom Project student director and producer for the film 1700 Miles: A Journey to Explore Freedom (The Story Continues). She is a former WU volleyball player. Her commitment to her education has generated a unique attitude that embodies the institution’s motto- Go Forth Inspired.
“I do these things because I love helping others and sharing my love for Wiley and its impact on my life. I have received so much support from the campus community. My professors push me and encourage me, and I truly appreciate it,” Miss Jordan Dansby
Dr. Tashia Bradley, Wiley University's Chief Operating Officer, said the University is incredibly proud of Dansby’s accomplishments. “Miss Dansby is a shining example of what we expect our students to experience at Wiley University,” Dr. Bradley said. “She is ambitious and goal-driven; we couldn’t be more pleased with her success, accomplishments, and how she represents our great University. She is an extraordinary student and has a very bright future ahead of her.”
Dansby is a Mass Communications major from Phoenix, Ariz., who will graduate in May 2025.
