Ana's Story: A Spring 2024 Access Fund Recipient

March 02, 2025


"The Access Fund made it possible for me to participate in Buck-I-SERV, an experience that I wouldn’t have been able to afford on my own. Thanks to this support, I had the opportunity to travel to Bangladesh, where I visited a tea garden and learned firsthand about the economic and educational struggles faced by workers there. It was eye-opening to see how something as simple as access to education could change lives, and it reinforced my passion for service.

Beyond the trip itself, the impact of the Access Fund extended into my experience at Ohio State. The lessons I learned—about resilience, adaptability, and the power of community—have shaped the way I approach leadership and service on campus. As a Resident Advisor, I’ve become more understanding and patient when working with students from different backgrounds. I’ve also been more intentional about finding ways to give back, whether through volunteering or mentoring others.

Without the Access Fund, I wouldn’t have had this transformative experience. It not only allowed me to engage in meaningful service but also shaped my mindset in ways that will stay with me far beyond my time at Ohio State." -Ana
