In Episode 5 of our series on Admission Nutrients, Tom Campbell is joined by Nathan Faust, Admission Counselor at Loyola Marymount University, to talk about Service to Others / Community Impact. In their conversation, they get into:

  • Why service to others and community impact is a valuable nutrient to fold into your high school experience—and life
  • Tips on communicating your service and community-impact initiatives to admissions officers
  • Examples of how this nutrient may overlap with the others
  • Advice for counselors on how to explain the value of this nutrient to students and families
  • And more!

Nathan Faust is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University where he earned both his B.A. (2019) and M.A. (2023) in English. After brief stints in finance and sports management, he joined the admission team in 2021 as a regional recruiter in the Pacific Northwest, where he works with students from Oregon and Washington. Nathan is passionate about educational opportunity, enjoys connecting with students, and values demystifying the admission process. In his free time, Nathan enjoys creative writing, the highs and lows of cheering for the Portland Trail Blazers, camping in mosquito-less places, and spending time with friends also in mosquito-less places.

We hope you enjoy.
