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.
