Students who didn’t get commencement ceremony due to COVID in 2020 excited for Ohio State graduation

Columbus, Ohio — Just over four years ago, most high school students could not attend their graduation ceremony as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most events across the country. On Saturday, about 12,000 Ohio State Buckeyes will receive their diploma in person — something most of them haven’t done before. When the pandemic hit, school districts across the country canceled graduation ceremonies, leaving many in this class without a typical high school commencement. Ohio State’s commencement ceremony will begin at noon. Tickets are not required.
