WashU Center for Career Engagement

Still celebrating Sam! 🎉

Earlier this year, Sam was recognized with the Outstanding Student Employee Award, and we couldn’t be more excited to cheer her on.

At the CCE, Sam brings leadership, creativity, and care to everything she does — from supporting fellow Career Peers to helping keep our spaces, resources, and programs running smoothly for students.

We are so grateful for all Sam does for the Center for Career Engagement and so proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition!
