To all who graduated from Osaka University today

Congratulations on your graduation.

The 2020-21 Osaka University Graduation Ceremony was held at Osaka-jo Hall on March 24, with 6,045 OU students starting a new journey as graduates of Osaka University.

Attendees to this year's graduation ceremony were limited to just the graduates themselves and the ceremony was held with measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but thankfully, we were able to hold the ceremony thanks to your cooperation.

From what you learned, to your efforts in your extracurricular activities and sports, to encounters with your teachers and friends, all things at OU -- both the fun things and the difficult things -- surely made you what you are, even during this year of living with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whether you're beginning your career or continuing your education, everyone's path is different, but Osaka University will be there to support you on every step along the way.

Good luck to all graduates in the future!
