STUDENT IMPACT

  • “The transition to college initially felt like it was going to be a little rough. Day one in my music education class, I was assigned a 14-page paper about myself. Writing that much about yourself felt pretty intimidating. But it ended up being fine, and I’ve really enjoyed the culture here.”

    Thor McDonald, Alum

  • “I grew up in Greenwich, so I chose Ashland for both the proximity to home as well as the great middle-grade education program. I’m a diversity scholar, so I was able to work in the office of Military & Veteran Services as a freshman. I stayed on working with that team after that semester, and it was great.”

    Lylianna Antonio, Alum

  • “As an early childhood education major at AU, it was great to have the opportunity to work in a kindergarten classroom at Edison Elementary here in Ashland last year. And as you start making those personal connections, you can build real relationships with these children. After just a few weeks, even the quietest, shyest ones start giving you a hug any time they see you!”

    Sydney Gilmore, Alum
