            <p>The Ohio State University celebrated its Sesquicentennial, or 150th anniversary, during the 2019-2020 school year. Events and commemorations were planned by the Sesquicentennial Office, and focused on celebrating and remembering the university's extensive history while simultaneously looking towards its future. Planned events during the spring 2020 semester, including a community open house, were ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
