A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JOHNSON

Dear Graduates,

    Congratulations, Buckeyes! We are thrilled to celebrate your accomplishments with you in person,
in the Schottenstein Center and — most joyously – alongside so many of your friends, family and
loved ones. The fact that we are together today is a testament to our collective efforts to keep each
other safe and healthy.

  It is also one more sign of a return to our beloved traditions. You have worked hard to ensure that
we could celebrate commencement as generations of Ohio State graduates have before you. You
adapted to new ways of learning and connecting. You helped your classmates and colleagues figure
out how to remain together — even when we were apart. You came together to keep a pandemic at
bay on our campuses and found ways to lift up those on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19.

  Most importantly: Even when it was difficult, you never gave up. Your perseverance and
experiences through this time will forever be a part of your journey. You proved that diverse talents
and perspectives can be woven together to create solutions that do incredible good.

   I am inspired by each and every one of you, though I am not surprised. As Buckeyes, we shine
brightest when times are tough, when there is a need for champions to come together to support
each other and our communities. We shine our light in dark places and lead in all that we do. Meeting
challenges head-on is simply part of our DNA.

   You are stronger and wiser from your experiences, and today I challenge you to take what you’ve
learned at Ohio State and set to work building a future in which every member of our community can
share equitably in its opportunity. I know you are up to the challenge — after all, you’re Buckeyes.

  As you depart today, diploma in hand, think of this as a beginning, not an ending. You are forever
part of our Ohio State family — Buckeyes for life. Congratulations, once again. I cannot wait to see
what you do next!

Sincerely yours,

Kristina M. Johnson, PhD
President
CONGRATULATIONS AND
WELCOME TO THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

 Congratulations, and welcome to the Buckeye alumni family, Class of 2021! It’s wonderful
to come together and celebrate your accomplishments.

 Every one of you has a unique Ohio State story to tell about your journey with us thus
far, and this past year will certainly stand out in memory. Though you each experienced
things differently, you were never alone. Your web of support is broader and in many
ways even tighter now that you have nearly 600,000 fellow alumni around the globe
ready to support you in ways not yet imagined, offering advice or lending a hand!

 If you read the lyrics to “Carmen Ohio” — all three verses, not just the one we have
memorized — you will see lines about both the good times and the bad. It references
“happy days of yore” and “blackened sky or barren shoal.” As the seasons pass, with
many reasons to be hopeful amid all the world’s uncertainties, I know one thing for sure:
We are Buckeyes, and there is nothing we can’t do together!

 We will be with you wherever you go. You can download our alumni app, or a simple
click on osu.edu/alumni will open doors to ways you can stay connected with your alma
mater and your fellow Buckeyes. There are alumni clubs and societies in more than 100
cities, organizing everything from game watch parties to scholarship fundraisers, and the
alumni association offers career resources as well as lifelong learning and networking
opportunities. And in true Buckeye tradition, you will find ways to volunteer and pay
forward in service to others.

 Don’t think about this as an ending to your Ohio State story. You will be out there making
a difference, charting your path all in the name of this incredible institution you now call
your alma mater. As you have seen through your journey thus far, we will be with you to
share the endless opportunities and excitement the future holds in your next chapter as a
Buckeye for life!

In firm friendship,
