‘Recognition of Graduation’ event salutes students

The Recognition of Graduation event pays tribute to students
 who have pursued their college aspirations on the Chillicothe Campus

Ohio University-Chillicothe will recognize students who have earned their college degrees during the 2011-12 academic year during the annual “Recognition of Graduation” ceremony at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 8, in the Shoemaker Center. This event will honor students who have earned associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Admission is free, and the public is invited.

“I encourage all members of the OU-C community to participate in or attend this event. On the Chillicothe Campus, we are focused on helping students attain success, and this type of festive occasion captures that spirit by saluting students for their efforts and recognizing those who have supported them along the way,” campus Dean Martin Tuck said.

A reception for the graduates and their families will be held afterward in the Shoemaker Center. A reception for faculty members will be held prior to the ceremony, at 6:30 p.m. in Shoemaker rooms 215 and 217. Further details, including the names of special speakers and other participants, will be released at a later date.

A pinning ceremony for graduates of OU-C’s nursing program will be held at 6 p.m. on June 7 in the Shoemaker Center.

Formal commencement activities are held on the Athens campus.
