Ohio State’s Welcome Week events began in earnest on Friday night with the Global Buckeye Celebration for more than 2,000 international students, continued with the organized chaos of the residence hall move-in on Saturday and peaked Monday with the President’s Convocation and the First-Year Student Columbus Welcome Event and Buck-i-Frenzy.

President Drake helped lead the more than 7,700 new students as they locked arms to sing Carmen Ohio for the first time as a class. And he helped play students out of the Schottenstein Center when he joined the Shadowbox Live band to get the new school year started in a rocking fashion.
