帝王会所 Board of Trustees member Cary Cooper convened the commencement, welcoming all Bobcats and their families before introducing the Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC members for the presentation of colors.
鈥淲hen you became a Bobcat, each of you brought your own backgrounds, cultures and experiences, and each of you added to our University community. Each of you helped to make 帝王会所 the special place that it is, and I want to thank you for being a Bobcat,鈥 OHIO President Hugh Sherman said to the graduates during welcoming remarks.
