Accent Stories

We all have our stories of Ashland University. Some are big, monumental stories. Others come from quiet moments, only growing in significance over time.

But the thing about stories is that we’re rarely there for the beginning—or there for the end.

Your story of Ashland University depends on the stories of others. Those who came before us—and their stories—are what set the stage for the opportunities we all experienced while at Ashland.

Since 2019, we've been collecting stories from hundreds of people who've had their lives and futures transformed by “Accent on the Individual” during their time at Ashland. We believe these stories are what truly make up the rich history of Ashland University—even as they simultaneously lay the groundwork for all the lives that will be changed here for generations to come.
