Part Coach, Part Mentor, All Auntie!
A Concierge Care Service for Black, Brown & International College Students
How It Works
Experience Makes the Best Auntie!
My Campus Aunties was founded in 2024 by Dr. Nicole G. Rayfield in response to the increase in enrollment by students of color in institutions of higher education following the end of the pandemic. As a first-generation college student in a predominantly White university and academic administrator with over 25 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Rayfield understands how challenging these environments can be for Black, Brown and International students.
Her research into the lived experience of black administrators at predominantly
white institutions (PWIs) revealed several insights into the role that these women
play in the lives of their students. Chief among them was the notion that Black
women act as “othermothers ”to Black and Brown students and support
advocacy and belonging within a space that can be scary, hostile, and confusing.
As the idea of black women having always played the role of Aunties, Play Mom’s
and surrogate moms, it was only natural that she embarked upon a mission to
help black and brown students thrive in these spaces.
Thus, in collaboration with STEM and DEI expert, Denise Jones,
My Campus Aunties was born! We’re here to be your student’s
Mom Away From Home!

FAQs
Absolutely! Each Auntie is thoroughly vetted through our independent background firm. We ensure that all of our
Aunties have current clear criminal, child abuse and FBI clearances. MCAs also act as mandated reporters and will
report any instance of criminal activity observed or made privy to the appropriate school or local authorities.
Aunties receive ongoing
Our Aunties represent a wide range of backgrounds, careers and experience. At a minimum, they must have some
college education, long- term work history, and meaningful experience working with college students.
No, our Aunties do not have access to personal health, academic or financial information and will not act on behalf of
your student in any of these matters. It is to the discretion of the student and/or guardian (if under 18) to share that
information if desired and/or to file a FERPA permitting the Auntie to access to confidential student files.
In the rare instance that an Auntie and student are not well matched, MCA will make another Auntie available to your
student or offer other options to satisfy the needs of your student.
