COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Student Alumni Council (SAC) in coordination with the Ohio State University Alumni Association (OSUAA) held the annual Ring Ceremony on May 4^th in Hitchcock Hall. The ring ceremony started the exciting series of events leading to Spring Commencement on June 8^th.

A reception preceded the ceremony where the rings were presented by Archie Griffin - president/CEO of OSUAA, Paul Barash – president of SAC, and Provost Alutto. Recipients had the opportunity to take a personal photo with Mr. Griffin and Provost Alutto and it was also a wonderful opportunity for friends and family to come together and reminisce about their time on campus. The ring ceremony is a long-standing tradition at Ohio State that instills memories for students as they wear their ring for a lifetime. This year SAC member Lauren Huefner planned the event which has the most ring orders in school history. Congratulations to Lauren, Paul, the Alumni Association, and Student-Alumni Council on creating a great memory for another class of Buckeye graduates!
