Dear OSU Corvallis students,

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2024!

This is a truly exciting time, and we cannot wait to celebrate all you have accomplished and all that you will go on to do. As we approach one of the most exciting times of the year, Graduation and the Commencement Ceremony, let us remember the community that we now and forever will represent: Beaver Nation.

Life's milestones deserve celebration, and this graduation is a monumental one. We are incredibly proud of everything you've accomplished, and I hope you are finding time to reflect on everything you have achieved to reach this point. You’ve emulated strength, tackled unforeseen obstacles, and forged relationships that will last a lifetime. This is your moment to connect with loved ones – new and old – to celebrate alongside those that helped shape your journey here. Embrace this moment and remember that it is just the beginning.

The incredible things you've achieved here are the foundation for a future filled with even greater possibilities. Let's celebrate safely and with boundless optimism- you are ready to conquer whatever comes next!

We want to make sure the memories you create today are ones you'll cherish for a lifetime. It is essential that we commemorate and celebrate responsibly and respectfully. We recognize that everyone is going to celebrate in different ways, but we can all do so in ways that contribute to our individual and community safety: Beaver Nation takes care of one another.

On Commencement Day, the Corvallis campus will operate with the same policies as usual, including the prohibition of alcohol and other drugs on campus. This allows us to focus on what truly matters – celebrating your success and creating lasting memories with loved ones.

One last time, let us come together and honor the legacy of the class of 2024. I’ll see you at Commencement, Beavs!

Congratulations & happy graduation,
