This gallery is a sampling of photographs from the morning of Commencement. A full album of photos from this event can be seen on Flickr. A full collection of Commencement/Reunion Weekend photos is available at this link.
A video of Commencement 2016 in its entirety will be uploaded to the Oberlin College YouTube page in the coming weeks.
