Get to Know My Campus Kin BetterÂ
College life comes with much more than classes.Â
​
Students are managing travel, appointments, housing, transportation, errands, activities, celebrations, unexpected situations, and all the details that come with living away from home.
​
My Campus Kin was created to fill that gap with reliable support students can turn to when they need help getting something handled.
​
What We Believe
College students are young adults building lives of their own.
​
My Campus Kin is designed to support that experience, not do it all for them.
​
We listen, help solve problems, coordinate logistics, provide hands-on support when needed, and help students solve the challenge or need.
​
The student stays in control. We provide the backup.
Our Promise
We will remain trusted, responsive, resourceful, and respectful.
​
We will show up when we say we will, communicate clearly, respect student choice and privacy, and approach every request with care, good judgment, and a focus on getting the situation handled.
Meet the Founder
Jaye Espy, Chief Campus Auntie
I founded My Campus Kin after having a career spanning startup development, higher education, workforce solutions, partnerships, program design, and public service at the local, state, and federal levels.
​
30 years ago, I helped co-found washingtonpost.com and and then went on to launch Mississippi’s first virtual public school—two early examples of building new models around how people access information and education.
​
That professional experience was no contest to my firsthand experience as a parent of college students.
​
I truly understand what it's like to navigate support for students from a distance especially when there is an emergency or even trying to manage something routine. My Campus Kin intends to be that one trusted local resource that allows college students to focus on the academics while we take care of life.Â
​
And stay tuned for announcements on how we give back to a community that has given me so much in my career. In January 2027, we will present a broader program that supports students who face emergencies, food insecurity, and other unexpected needs and simply do not have the resources. It will be our strongest way ever to give back!
