Alexis Ward
Alexis Ward (Questrom’25) of Stony Brook, N.Y., is the founder of Campus Collective, a social platform she developed while a student at Boston University. Launched in January 2026, Campus Collective is a student-to-student services marketplace that allows users to offer beauty, fitness, academic, and lifestyle services directly to one another on campus. “It formalizes an existing behavior that currently lives across scattered Instagram pages and group chats, and provides a trusted way for students to monetize skills and access affordable campus-based services,” Alexis writes. “The concept was informed by firsthand insight into how students seek out services informally, and the platform has been shaped with direct student feedback throughout development.” You can learn more about the platform at www.campuscollective.site.
