Abstract	One of the main ways that one can accurately gain knowledge of the experiences of students on a college campus is to talk to the students themselves. In this study, we used Photovoice, a participatory action approach, to help better understand the experiences of the students at Oregon State University who participated in an OSU Open Campus college access program. Of our seven participants, 71% identified as transfer students. Three major themes emerged from the photographs and stories submitted by the students, including: (1) community and support, (2) determination, and (3) accomplishments. These photographs and stories can allow administrators to learn more about students and their backgrounds, how to make changes to better support students (particularly transfer students), and how to better adapt their curriculum to invite all different types of students to succeed on their campus. Keywords: photovoice, OSU student experience, student stories
