Earlier today Apple CEO Tim Cook delivered a virtual commencement address today to thousands of graduates of The Ohio State University. In light of COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings, Ohio State announced plans back on April 3rd to live stream this year's commencement. Today Tim Cook delivered.

Cook noted at one point in his address: "Graduates, I am sorry that we’re not celebrating together today. Your class is a special one — marked by history like few others in OSU’s 150 years.

And while we aren’t shoulder to shoulder in the Horseshoe, filling it to the rafters, I know your parents, your loved ones, your friends and teachers, are no less overwhelmed with pride in you and in what you have achieved."
