So enter that daily thou
mayest grow in knowledge
wisdom and love.
To the Class of 2020,
Congratulations on your graduation from Ohio University! You are one of the fortunate who has
experienced the nation’s best transformative learning experience.
is year has not been what any of us had planned, as the COVID-19 global pandemic changed
all of our lives. I want to thank you for boldly responding to these historic changes by continuing
to learn together, work together and support one another. You have shown great resilience as
you navigated the many challenges of 2020 and I am very proud of you. Your class is truly special
and will always be remembered at Ohio University for your spirit and fortitude.
Your time at Ohio University prepared you for your future, and now you and your classmates
are beginning your careers, advancing in new academic programs or taking on other challenges.
I want you to know, though, that your transformation is not yet complete. For a true education
does not stop with a diploma; it continues throughout every day of your life. I encourage you to
take the lessons you have learned at Ohio University and expand upon them in the years to come.
As you have already learned, the OHIO alumni network is a vast enterprise – accomplished in
their respectable professions, loyal to their alma mater, and always willing to help a fellow Bobcat
land that next job or find an apartment/realtor in a new city. I urge you to seek out your nearest
alumni chapter or a special interest society of alumni and friends, to reach out through social media
(#ohioalumni), and to stay connected to Ohio University.
Each Ohio University graduate adds a new chapter in a 216-year tradition of academic excellence,
and we are thankful for all that you have contributed to our truly unique University community.
We wish you the very best and look forward to the many distinguished successes that lie ahead
of you in the years to come, as your individual talents and knowledge help to make our world
a better place.
Best wishes,
M. Duane Nellis, Ph.D.
President

Alma Mater, Ohio
When e’er we take our book of mem’ries
And scan its pages through and through
We’ll find no days that glow so brightly
As those we spent at old O.U.
Within our Alma Mater’s portals
We meet her children hand to hand
And when there comes the day of parting,
Still firm and loyal we will stand
Alma Mater, Ohio,
“Alma Mater, brave and fair!
Alma Mater, we hail thee,
For we own thy kindly care.
Alma Mater, Ohio,
When we read thy story o’er,
We revere thee and cheer thee
As we sing thy praise once more.
Our Alma Mater calls us ever,
And love of country has its claim,
e one but makes us prize the other,
And thus we cherish both the same.
When Alma Mater sends us forward,
And in her name we stand in line,
en we will serve the nation better,
For having gathered at her shrine.
Words and music by Kenneth S. Clark.
Written in 1915 and awarded first prize in the Alma Mater
Song Contest conducted by Edwin W. Chubb, Dean,
College of Liberal Arts.
