A Journey of Growth and Guidance
For 20 years, Nathan Basta has been an integral part of the Herzing University family. Currently serving as Department Chair of Business, Technology and Legal Studies, Basta's career at Herzing evolved from adjunct faculty to General Education Department Chair before assuming his current leadership role.
Creating Memorable Experiences Every Day
"Everyday comes with a memorable experience at Herzing," shares Basta. "The ability to help students achieve their goals and faculty guiding students in their paths makes every day memorable. It is what we are here for."
Basta credits the P.R.I.C.E. of Success values as the foundation for these daily achievements. "The P.R.I.C.E. of Success values are the main reason why every day is considered an achievement as we are teaching students life skills that creates a differentiator between them and any other university graduate."
Building Connections That Feel Like Family
When asked about traditions he looks forward to, Basta points to the meetings held in Georgia and Wisconsin. "I always look forward to meeting with my friends who became like family," he explains.
His engagement with the Herzing community continues through various channels, including in-person and virtual meetings as well as regular email communications.
Empowering Student Success
Basta offers powerful advice for current and future Herzing students: "Believe in yourselves, do not believe what you were told about your abilities in the past. You can achieve your dreams. I would tell them that Time + Effort = Success."
The Herzing Difference
What makes Herzing University stand out from other institutions? According to Basta, it's a combination of exceptional curriculum and values-based education.
"In addition to an amazing curriculum that is hands-on and job focused, I think that the P.R.I.C.E. of Success values are more important. It teaches students how to be good citizens, employees or business owners," he explains.
Dedicated educators like Nathan Basta continue to embody the institution's commitment to student success and holistic education.
