More than 12,000 degrees were awarded during The Ohio State University’s Spring Commencement Ceremony.
Those graduates came from all of the branch's campuses, like Lima, and the main campus in Columbus. The commencement speaker was Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger, whose company announced this year a $20 billion investment in Ohio to build factories to make semiconductor chips. Gelsinger was given an honorary doctorate for engineering. Plus, outgoing Senator Rob Portman also received an honorary doctorate for public service from Ohio State.
Among all the graduates, 700 were from the college of nursing, which is a record number for a single graduating class from that particular college.
