Welcome to the Polish Studies Initiative’s Buckeye Funder!
We're glad you're here. At Ohio State, the Polish Studies Initiative (PSI) creates opportunities for students and faculty to engage with Poland’s history, culture and contemporary society through study abroad, language learning, research and public programming.
Your support helps make those opportunities possible. Gifts to PSI fund scholarships, research experiences, educational programs and events that connect our campus and broader community with Poland and the Polish diaspora.
The impact can be seen in the experiences of PSI students and alumni, whose involvement has led to meaningful academic and professional opportunities, lasting connections and a deeper understanding of Poland and its place in the world. Your generosity also helps preserve and share Polish cultural heritage, ensuring that these stories, traditions and perspectives continue to be explored by future generations.
Thank you for being part of this journey and be sure to share this campaign with your friends and family so that Polish Studies can continue to thrive at Ohio State. Dziękujemy!
