COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Obama was at Ohio State University on Sunday for the university's spring commencement address.

He told the graduates that they were born into a different world than their parents. He also said they possess true American values given recent events.

"When bombs went off in Boston, and when a spree of gunfire visited a movie theater, a temple, an Ohio high school, a first grade classroom in Connecticut—we saw citizenship."

This is just the first of three commencements the president will attend this graduation season.
