This year, nearly 10,000 Ohio State graduates donned their cap and gown for their commencement ceremony, providing the unique opportunity for these caps to be decorated.

Graduates displayed their personalities through these designs, with caps ranging from inspirational quotes, jokes or political statements.

While some rain resulted in many of these caps being removed from sight, here are a few displayed during commencement.
