Brandi Grieshaber, a junior at UMSL, is a student leader active in cancer awareness education and research funding. Since 2010, Brandi has been an officer for Colleges Against Cancer, an organization dedicated to implementing the American Cancer Society programs and mission. Brandi has shifted its focus from simply organizing the annual Relay for Life campus event to a comprehensive programming schedule that raises awareness of all forms of cancer.

Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way."
