John Faust takes part in the recruitment of high school students to become a science major at the university. He explains how these recruitment trips work.
[su_quote]”27 I think to 50 students, they will bus them down to Brownsville to see the research center down there. It’s a gravitational wave center, and we will come back up here where the researchers on campus and see some of their stuff.”[/su_quote]
The geology club posted a video on YouTube featuring Faust, and after that he was known as the legend all around campus.

Faust encourages students who have an interest in physical sciences to join the organizations around campus because they can become a part of the things they are doing.
