Campus Y

Happy Alumni Weekend! If you’re visiting campus, come visit the suite before 3:30 for a snack and a trip down memory lane!

Our next Student Employee Appreciation Week highlight is Barrett Wagner! Barrett worked as an MSA in Campus Y for 4 years, supporting programs and staff in a myriad of ways. After graduation, Barrett took a job with the Gateway Region YMCA as a marketing and communications specialist. She now supports Campus Y as well as 25 traditional YMCA locations and other programs. We are so proud and grateful to have Barrett in our Y community!!

We are proud to announce that one of our very own Campus Y alums, Kate Choi will be receiving the Gerry and Bob Virgil Ethic of Service Award from the Gephardt Institute for Civic and Community Engagement.

Kate is being recognized for her work as a volunteer program leader and student director for the Campus Y during her tenure at WashU. Her passion for literacy, learning, and serving St. Louis is inspirational.

Happy Student Employee Appreciation Week! We love all of our Campus Y student workers!

During her time at WashU, Samantha Kanner has served as a Member Service Associate (MSA) at Campus Y for four years. The MSA role is central to the Campus Y community, with student employees supporting daily operations such as tracking onboarding requirements (including background checks and Youth Protection training), preparing materials for programs and events, and providing welcoming customer service to all who enter the space.

As one of the first points of contact within Campus Y, Samantha has played an essential role in fostering an inclusive, engaging environment. Whether connecting students to volunteer opportunities or supporting large-scale initiatives like Blood Drives and community events, her work has directly contributed to advancing Campus Y’s mission of service and community engagsement.

We loved celebrating our amazing seniors last night at our Senior Celebration event!! These students have dedicated so much time and effort to Campus Y over the years, and we know they all have bright futures!

We loved meeting so many new faces at Well-Being Wednesday yesterday!

Come celebrate a successful year with Campus Y!! We will have lots of free food and plenty of yard games, so come to have a great time!
