The novel Coronavirus has turned the world upside down and changed almost every area of life. Large gatherings have been banned in most states, and stay-at-home orders the norm. It is truly a historic time we are living through.
That has now spilled over into Ohio State’s scheduled commencement for the spring quarter. The university announced plans to proceed with the original date of May 3, but to move it to a virtual, live-stream setting. Apple CEO Tim Cook will be delivering the commencement address.
The new format was announced in a video message and release by University president Michaael Drake. It can be found by accessing it through the below link.
