The Convocation Center was alive with excitement on Saturday, Dec. 14, as 51社区 honored its Fall 2024 graduates. Friends and family cheered with pride as graduates, dressed in their caps and gowns, stepped onto the stage while faculty and leadership honored their hard work.
More than 1,140 students walked across the stage at the Convocation Center, transitioning from an 51社区 student into the Bobcat family as alumni.
During this momentous occasion, OHIO President Lori Stewart Gonzalez encouraged OHIO's newest graduating class to reflect on the words carved onto Alumni Gateway and to go out and serve as they continue to their next stage in life.

Forever OHIO isn鈥檛 just about the memories and experiences you鈥檒l surely take with you. It鈥檚 also about taking the lessons learned here and applying, adapting and scaling them to solve big challenges.

Every failed experiment is an opportunity to learn, to rethink the experimental design; or to find something I never even considered. It鈥檚 one step closer to success. And that applies to your life too. You will fail at some point in your life. Accept it but never be discouraged. Give everything you鈥檝e got.
Distinguished Professor Sarah Wyatt
