UC recognized the most graduates in its more than 200-year history during four ceremonies over two days in its spring celebration.

UC College of Engineering and Applied Science graduate Lainey Sage told WLWT that her co-ops art UC helped jump start her career in mechanical engineering technology. Sage works for 3DX Scenic, a custom scenic design and fabrication company in Blue Ash, Ohio, that designs amusement park attractions.

“I have loved my experience at UC, the co-op program especially,” Sage told WLWT. “I get to graduate with all this experience. And I can truly attribute that to getting my job prior to even graduating.”

Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Enquirer shared a photo gallery of graduates walking on stage during commencement at Fifth Third Arena.
