Congratulations Graduates!

Congratulations to the newest 10,143 Buckeyes! The Class of 2013 is the second-largest graduating class in Ohio State history.

The graduates are among the brightest in the university’s history. The ceremony celebrated the academic achievements, dedication and commitment that each student has put forth to earn his or her degree. Diplomas were given individually to each graduate, a practice rarely attempted by a university the size of Ohio State.

Students and faculty needed to be on campus by 8:30 am to go through security at the French Field House. We had 92 civil engineering and 15 environmental engineering students that graduated with a BS in civil engineering. Another 23 MS students and 3 PhD students also graduated. President Barack Obama was the commencement speaker with his message to the students being focused on citizenship.

Congratulations graduates!
