In the address, DeWine noted that the coronavirus will make the university’s community stronger.
“We will come out of this,” he said.
“We will be stronger. Our scientists and our business people -- and among them now many of today’s graduates -- will be the ones to find new treatments and a vaccine and innovative and creative economic solutions.”
