Student Spotlight: Alexis Faison, ’24
This Greyhound has sought and found fulfillment in serving as a gap connector for communities, a passion and a skill set that has flourished during her time at Loyola
“Coming from a small town to Loyola, in a city that embraces all walks of life, has guided me toward becoming a servant leader. My mentors and other leaders around me have encouraged me to take every single chance and navigate into the unknown.”
Alexis Faison ’24, who grew up in Cape May, New Jersey, has thrived during her time at Loyola while pursuing opportunities in public service, advocacy, and storytelling.
She is an interdisciplinary political science and communication major with a concentration in journalism and minors in American Studies and history.
Faison has sought and found fulfillment in serving as a gap connector for communities—a passion and a skill set that has flourished during her time as a Greyhound. She has a fellowship with the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, serves as chair for the Maryland Higher Education Commission Student Advisory Council, is an alumni board member for the Maryland Public Service Scholars Program, and recently interned in Maryland Governor Wes Moore’s Office of Communications.
She is an active leader on the Evergreen campus in her roles with the Green & Grey Society and as a student representative on the President’s Task Force Examining Loyola’s Connection to Slavery.
As assistant teaching professor of political science, Matt Beverlin, Ph.D., J.D., has watched Faison grow from his student to teaching assistant.
“I look forward to watching the direction Alexis takes in her career because she is certain to have a huge impact.”
