Ohio University to Celebrate the Class of 2020 on Sept. 5

The ceremony will be held on the College Green

Ohio University will proudly celebrate the Class of 2020 with an in-person Commencement Ceremony on the historic College Green on Sept. 5.

“Ohio University is extremely pleased to host the Class of 2020 for this meaningful and memorable Commencement Ceremony,” said Ohio University President Hugh Sherman. “We can’t wait to see these proud Bobcats once again and to finally fully honor them for their achievements.”

This special event, which will begin at 2 p.m., will feature Ohio University alumnus Keith Hawkins, Ph.D., as a Commencement Speaker and two nationally known experts who will be receiving honorary degrees. Hawkins, an assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, is known for his innovative research focused primarily on 'Galactic Archaeology,' which is aimed at exploring the formation, evolution and structure of the Milky Way Galaxy. Hawkins received his B.S. in Astrophysics (with minors in Mathematics and African Studies) from Ohio University in 2013.
